"When you can only have 1% of your list unsubscribe, it means that you cannot use a service like MailChimp to clean up your list. They will shut your ass down, hard. You’ll get one warning, and that’s it."

BBC - Adam Curtis Blog: MADISON AVENUE
"In Mad Men we watch a group of people who live in a prosperous society that offers happiness and order like never before in history and yet are full of anxiety and unease. They feel there is something more, something beyond. And they feel stuck. I think we are fascinated because we have a lurking feeling that we are living in a very similar time. A time that, despite all the great forces of history whirling around in the world outside, somehow feels stuck."

Marketing: Study Says Most Brands Still Irrelevant on Twitter - Advertising Age - Digital
"Despite marketers' embrace of the medium, brands are finding themselves on the outside of the conversation. Of the 90% of Twitter messages sent by real people -- the other 10% come from businesses -- only 12% ever mention a brand, and most of those mentions are of Twitter itself. Further, only 1% of consumer tweets that mention a brand are part of an active conversation with that brand, meaning marketers are, for the most part, conducting one-way conversations -- the opposite of the way consumers often use Twitter."

"It seems in Marketing, the world of Digital still consists largely of people who’ve not yet twigged that ‘Digital’ means more than “…on the web” or “…on your mobile”. Conceptually, there’s still a divide separating the Digital from the Physical. Forward-looking brands and agencies are onto this."

YouTube Blog: Broadcast Yourself
"For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately "roughed up" the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened YouTube accounts using phony email addresses. It even sent employees to Kinko's to upload clips from computers that couldn't be traced to Viacom. And in an effort to promote its own shows, as a matter of company policy Viacom routinely left up clips from shows that had been uploaded to YouTube by ordinary users."

Si Begg :: 24 Bit Error Collection
Si Begg's next release out for free. "Don't get me wrong I'm all for me making money out of my music. But as I say, i'm not exactly churning out platinum hit singles here. I'm thinking its more likely I'll make my money a) from possibly licensing the tracks to compilations b) PRS royalties from radio play etc c) maybe getting the tracks used in film and TV d) gig, remix and production work encouraged by generally raising my profile. All of which is more likely to happen the more people that get to hear and hopefully enjoy my music."

The new rules of viral marketing - Brand Republic News - Brand Republic
"Marketers are responsible for any unsolicited marketing messages they send which do not comply with data protection rules. Guidance issued by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) stresses that the customer who passes a friend's details to the advertiser must confirm that they obtained the friend's consent. Marketers should check the friend is not already on a marketing suppression list and should tell customers that they will tell the friend how their contact details were obtained. If the friend objects having received the message, the marketer must rapidly suppress his contact details. "

Launch a Business, Not a Side Project | Think Vitamin
"I’ve seen a lot of web apps launched recently which haven’t succeeded. They’re not failing miserably, and they’re not wild successes. They’re just kind of puttering along, sapping just enough resources to be a problem, but not succeeding enough to really take off. The majority of these apps were built by small web design firms or freelancers who bought into the dream without really understanding how much time it takes to make an app succeed."

Topspin » Twitter Emerges as a Viable Direct Marketing Channel
"In the first day of release, Twitter lead the traffic drivers to the Jimmy Eat World site, with more than 22% of all traffic coming straight outta Twitterland. Twitter was third as a driver of revenue, though, driving just over 20% of all sales. Still, with the large number of people reached, and email a smaller percentage of total sales in this campaign than we see on average, it’s very reasonable to conclude that Twitter was a meaningful driver of incremental revenue."

A Whole Lotta Nothing: This is how Social Media really works
"Maybe instead of getting your company on twitter, paying marketers to mention you are on twitter, and paying people to blog about your company, forget all that and just make awesome stuff that gets people excited about your products, hire people that represent the company well, and when your stuff is so awesome that friends share it with other friends, you may not even need "social media marketing" after all."

The End of the Music Album as The Organizing Principle - MTT - Music Think Tank
Gang of Four's Dave Allen on the album as arbitrary audio bundle. "Technically then, we can say that 1930 was the year that the organizing principle for the length of a popular music album was implemented, and with the advent of that organizing principle it is worth noting that musical artists had no control over the length of time their masterpiece would run; they were at the mercy of contemporary technology."

Rollo & Grady Interview // Terry McBride - Los Angeles Music Blog
"Digital had been seeping into our world for about three years and the Napster effect was apparent. Being a small company and working directly with artists, we could really hear and see what was starting to happen. It was a realization that fighting it wouldn’t work; understanding it and being able to grow it was what was going to work. It was a psychological shift for us."
