I miss my pager, too! My high school girlfriend and I had special codes that we would page each other with using the free landline phone in the school office!

BBM!! Yes, amazing. iMessage and Whatsapp have lots of good BBM characteristics, but it ain't the same.

Live coded music is SO COOL. Huge fan of it. This is a great session for SXSW.

Hey yeah, lots of stuff has been put sent via weather balloons into space. But nobody has published natively to Snapchat before. That's the story here. --Greg from s150

Re: DeBlog: How Much Do We Spend On ‘I Voted’ Stickers?

Thanks Jason! Because I'm still obsessed with the sociological and fiscal implications when you expand this trend nationwide, I wonder if there is any requirement they need to be purchased from American vendors.

Thanks for the shout-out. It was in my Top 3 panels of 2012.

Nice! :)

Re: Will Facebook Rollout Timelines For Businesses?

Greg Swan — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:16:22 -0000

I love thinking about this. To your point on covers, I think brands will love FB Timeline covers. It feels like a traditional website marquee. Frankly, it feels like MySpace. Although the utility of the requisite scroll is crappy, I think brands will jump on a branded banner on the top of their page.

Re: I killed more than an hour watching How Music Works this weekend

I've wasted entire afternoons creating pentatonic melodies on my keyboard.

Re: Does Spotify sharing on Facebook change what you listen to?

Greg Swan — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:57:03 -0000

Yeah. I'm assuming it's like FB where they get slapped for default privacy settings turned on so need to roll out new updates with defaults turned off. It's sloppy existing customer relations, though.

Re: Does Spotify sharing on Facebook change what you listen to?

Greg Swan — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:50:49 -0000

Do you have "new" FB yet? It doesn't really spam people's streams in the new format, and I actually really like seeing what other people are listening to. My colleague Damien in New York and I seem to like the exact same stuff. The other day he was playing NIN's The Fragile, and I was like, OH YEAH -- and started listening to it. (I now seem to think I told you this same thing at coffee earlier this week - ha).

I think we just about have to. What do you recommend?

Oh yeah - we should totally rent some super hero costumes. Yours will have shoulder pads, of course.

Re: SXSW 2012 - Date Your Fans? Mascot Marketing & Alt Platforms

Greg Swan — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:34:49 -0000

I love this topic idea. An additional question to consider: Is this evolution toward marketing tricks detrimental to the core value that used to guide a band path to success -- talent?

Great topic and presenters. Resnikoff's Digital Music News is a must-read each and every day.

Re: Netflix website redesign angers users, again

Greg Swan — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:37:35 -0000

The inability to sort by year is a huge omission. Netflix is full of super old crap nobody cares about, and now that super old crap nobody cares about is intermittently sparsed between what few good movies are available for streaming. And the comment about paying for this is a great point. When Facebook makes a UX change, so be it. But I'm paying for Netflix.

I googled BBP and am still not sure I know what you're talking about.

Anyone willing to pee on marketing messages has surely had too many drinks.

Re: How I plan to cut the cable cord

Greg Swan — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:41:23 -0000

Very interesting. So does that mean you have a home phone line? There's another post for you! I had Qwest DSL and experienced slow service, not to mention it was cheaper if you had a land line, and I didn't want a land line!

Re: How I plan to cut the cable cord

Greg Swan — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:37:25 -0000

Are you using DSL for the Internet to power all of those devices? I didn't see you break out the cost for broadband. Given that we can't get fiber optic internet in our market, cable internet is the fastest option, and in my experience, critical for the speed I require to stream/download/upload. We actually have city wi-fi in my neighborhood, but it's achingly slow. I never watch TV but unfortunately am handcuffed to the cable folks until a faster option comes alone.
