Sam: first paragraph: spot on. Second: You are buying into just as much hype thinking the Arctic Monkey's were a success ONLY because of viral marketing. They did have a record company, are seeking more distribution and had plenty of side marketing hype generated through traditional media outlets.

The Artic Monkeys success is just as much of a marketing success via traditional means as it is via viral means.

Like I told the class at UCSB: record companies still do something for bands. It's just a matter of us adapting to a market place that expects us to do things differently. It is also why I was hired 9 months ago :)

In my case, no. I never pretend to be. I'm speaking from both in and out of Warner Bros Records, but never on record as a "voice" from within the company. Its my job to be the technology go-to guy in our world of Burbank, but its also my passion to be involved in technology at all costs.

My answer (and I blogged this) is that I blog because I blog. I do it at work, at home, on the road, etc. The voice of my blog is the same voice that is in marketing meetings, technical meetings, e-mail in the company and elsewhere.

Fair point Mr. Scoble. If I could get to Verizon's website.... I'd be doing that.

Speaking of: has anyone added up the cost of ubiquitous connectivity per month for a road warrior type? That includes TMobile hot spots, blackberry, mail hosting, cell service, etc?

Chrispy crap.

Let it be known: another Verizon client coming soon.
