Social Media & Creativity
Does this new emphasis on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace take away from the creative process? Is it possible that the artist begins to spend too much time updating Facebook instead of writing new songs? Yeah, the major artists have teams completing the social networking, but sometimes that becomes obvious. If a corporate intern is doing [...]
Twitter Users & Music Purchases
A recent report by the NPD Group found that Twitter users purchase more digital music downloads that non-Twitter users. In fact, they purchase 77% more!
