Music 2.0 Webinar: the PDF and the audio/video

I just finished with my first-ever Music 2.0 - Webinar using Drop.io's new presentation service (see the previous post). I really enjoyed doing this, even though it did feel kind of strange to have some people on the conference call phone line while others are watching the stream on uStream while yet others did not have either. We also had several images missing on quite a few slides - still lots of room for improvement by the Drop.io team I would venture to say. In comparison, my Webex experience for the Content / Marketing webinar in Australia, yesterday, went a lot smoother (guess that's why Webex charges a few more $$;) .

Anyhow, we had about 50 very attentive people which is great - hope they liked it.

Now, as promised, here is the media from the event:

• The PDF comes via slideshare, below - you can download it from there
• The recorded version of the uStream call (which came out nicely - well done, uStreamers!)
• The MP3 version (68 Minutes, 50MB) be downloaded via this link

Enjoy!

Hi Gerd,

Question for you:

How to you respond to someone like Andrew keen who argues that this digital revolution will be characterized by a new kind of hyper-individualism more like digital feudalism than an age of openness for artists?

Cheers,
David Akermanis

David, I have concerns about digital darwinism, attention deficit syndromes, privacy, data protection, internet addiction etc, as well, but one thing is for sure: the dangers of an OPEN ecosystem are minuscule compared to those of a controlled, closed system. I am confident that these issues can be resolved. Andrew Keen is a good writer and brings up controversial points that need to be considered, for sure, but he's also a bit too much in the theatrics mode as far as a balanced view point is concerned. I think the trend of artists and creators going direct to their followers, at much lower cost and in much shorter time, is a great development altogether - even if it results in more competitive pressure.

Thanks for the reply Gerd!
