New Social Networking Site is Geared to Help Bands get Exposure
New Social Networking Site is Geared to Help Bands get Exposure
READ MORE
LOS ANGELES, CA, May 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Over the past decade, we've seen the internet revolutionize the way we market ourselves, our businesses, and our ideas to the masses. Now there are full websites dedicated to helping bands get exposure to the right people, allowing for them to get noticed by record labels and make it to the big time.
MySpace was at the cusp of this music marketing revolution, having dedicated pages for musicians and allowing for other users to feature their favorite songs on their profiles. Once Facebook took over, MySpace Music seemed to be the only thing of value on the site for years, allowing artists to showcase their music and network, and presenting an easily accessible platform for industry executives and scouts to search for new talent or follow up on a lead.
Recently Facebook integrated a new service into their site, allowing for bands to do the same and showcase their music and allow their fans to "like" their songs and share them on their own walls without making them a staple on their page, as is the case with MySpace. This development was long overdue, and is still catching on, but before no time, it will be a common site on the social networking site.
A new site, WHOOZNXT, raises the bar even further, and allows for fans to make a difference. The site was developed as an extension of NXTM, the agency that is responsible for the digital presence of Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift, and was created by former MTV executive, Jeff Yapp.
They started this venture at SXSW (South by Southwest) and gave artists the chance to compete for a gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as being featured as a part of Rachael Ray's SXSW events. As fans voted for their favorite bands, the numbers grew on the site and the competition was very visible. Over the course of the festival, the service became an overnight hit, and more venues and organizations began to show interest in the site, allowing for bands to petition for spots based on their popularity, and get essentially get voted on by the fans.
The site now posts gigs for such venues as the Van's Warped Tour and guest spots on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and allows for bands to submit for gigs and push for their fans' support to help them get chosen. It is an interactive petition that can be compared like voting for American Idol, but in this case, it doesn't keep the artist in the running, but gives them a very real gig that they can use as a platform to be heard and get noticed by the rest of the industry.
Time will tell just how big this becomes, but from the very beginning, the site is buzzing with excitement, and the fact that the goals are all actually attainable, makes for an exciting, positive way for more artists to get out there and be heard.

Soket Selected As People's Choice During the 2011 GRA/TAG Business Launch Competition
Soket Selected As People's Choice During the 2011 GRA/TAG Business Launch Competition
READ MORE
ATLANTA, GA, May 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Soket, a SaaS-based command center that provides a single place for local businesses to orchestrate their web presence, was honored with the People's Choice Award during the 2011 GRA/TAG Business Launch Competition, Tuesday, May 24.
Management of online promotions, events and customer interaction has become increasingly complex as more technologies emerge and hyper-local businesses struggle with how to use these channels, determine if their efforts are working and find time to manage content. While individuals love social media and networking, local organizations generally see it as yet another task they must complete each day to try to get people through their doors, with 37% of local business citing lack of time as their biggest marketing challenge, according to a recent survey by MerchantCircle. Zach Hofer-Shall, an analyst with Forrester Research in a recent report states that "finding and acting on insights gleaned from online and social discussions is a tricky practice. It takes the right combination of clarity of objective, business planning, technology, and most importantly, people to do the work".
Soket saves organizations time and cost while improving marketing effectiveness. By using Soket organizations can:
• Manage their content (events, photos, status updates, etc)
• Syndicate this content wherever their audiences are (social networks, individual websites, etc)
• Aggregate information from social networks and external sources such as news articles and blogs related to their brand (social listening)
• Promote in new and highly targeted ways
• Analyze data to improve success
"Whether it's a PR or marketing agency that is managing ten businesses or a local business managing its own presence, our goal in creating Soket is to make managing a company's web presence simple," stated Marcel Crudele, president and founder of Soket. "Using our command center, businesses can easily manage and syndicate their online content, aggregate information from social networks and external sources such as news articles and blogs related to their brand and easily analyze the data."
Since its creation Soket has had a growing number of paid beta users including Atlanta-based Trevelino/Keller, an integrated public relations, social media and brand communications firm. The company is preparing for its market launch in Q3 of this year.
"From an agency's perspective, Soket provides an all-inclusive management tool for Facebook, Twitter, a business's website, etc," explained Genna Keller, principal, Trevelino/Keller. "Agencies no longer have to rely on multiple websites or applications to manage a brand's entire web presence. This saves time and energy and allows a brand's image and messaging to be seamlessly translated from one website to the next."
In April, Soket was selected by The Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) and Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) as a finalist in the GRA/TAG Business Launch 2011. GRA/TAG Business Launch supports Georgia's burgeoning start-up community by helping local entrepreneurs launch their businesses. Since founded in 2006, the competition has become one of largest of its kind in the U.S., providing $450,000 in cash and more than $1,000,000 in donated services, and has helped more than 130 young entrepreneurs connect with successful entrepreneurs and investors in mentoring relationships.

RIVERSIDE, CA, May 19, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- OnMeandMyCar.com, a social media t-shirt marketing service, announced today an official launch date, set to be May 31, 2011, right after Memorial Day.
The site has been specifically designed to maximize the synergy, and to promote a real-time dialog between the social media collective, and the showcased daily t-shirt sponsors.
OnMeandMyCar.com is aimed to close the existing gap between normal social network behavior in which members are usually predisposed to have fun, hear gossip, and find entertainment, and business network behavior in which members operate in a different state of mind and are more concerned about online promotion, sales, and profits.
OnMeandMyCar.com will attempt to bring together the best of both worlds by combining a healthy mixture of fun and promotion along with a heavy dosage of powerful social media exposure to build an exciting day appealing to all followers as well as to sponsors.
What will set On Me and My Car apart? What will differentiate it from other already existing similar services? We asked.
"Well, for starters, I'll be targeting both, the English and Spanish markets by holding daily Livestream shows in both languages. Also, instead of staying indoors, I will hit the streets with a couple vehicle magnets attached to my car to promote my sponsors on a "live" location, and to handout their marketing materials. Everything will be documented on Twitter , Facebook , YouTube , and Foursquare .
Last but not least, we'll be donating a "Give Back Day" to a deserving non-for-profit organization or cause, every 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
"Come, Join the Fun!" Is our tag line and the fun begins May 31st, 2011, please join us" said Marco A. Marquecho, future host of OnMeandMyCar.com
OnMeandMyCar.com is the perfect alternative and solution for big, medium, and small businesses as well as self-employed professionals, and freelancers attempting to successfully reach and engage the social media community in both the English and the growing Spanish speaking sectors.

www.NorthCountyClassified.com, a Local North County Classified Website with Social Network and Marketing, Launches in San Diego North County
www.NorthCountyClassified.com, a Local North County Classified Website with Social Network and Marketing, Launches in San Diego North County
VANCOUVER, BC, May 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This is the last of a six-part series on improving your writing style. Whether you write for business or academic purposes, there are a few golden rules that will help you sharpen up your prose.
Part 6 - Adjust your style to fit your audience
"Well, duh!", I hear you say; unfortunately this is not as obvious as it might seem. Basic rule of thumb: professional documents require a professional writing style whereas informal documents allow you to be more relaxed. That said, if an informal document is being written in a professional or business related environment, the writer should still take care to use correct grammar and punctuation; yes, even for memos and 'in-house' emails. A chatty style is generally fine if you're asking a co-worker for a quick favour but you never know who, beyond the intended recipient, may see your notes - this is particularly true of emails, which are notoriously often sent to the wrong recipient, and being overly casual or indiscreet concerning a colleague can make you look unprofessional and untrustworthy.
So what do we mean by 'professional' documents and are these all the same? Anything to do with work or business is professional but within that broad category there are many distinctions. If you have to prepare legal documents or write legal arguments, for example, then appropriate wording and punctuation are essential, as well as correct grammar and spelling. Even a misplaced comma in a legal document can change the meaning. If your business writing is going to appear on a company's website then - again - it must be painstakingly proofread. If I had a dollar for all the typos I've spotted on the websites of even the most prestigious companies I'd be relaxing in my beach house in Maui right now, yet still copywriters don't seem to think it necessary to check web content - weird!
However, the formality of your writing style will depend on the nature of your company's business. Banks, finance companies, medical websites, insurance companies, law offices, architects, etc. all require formal language. However, if you are writing for a bistro or pub, or for an entertainment website, then it is not only permissible but actually desirable to adopt a more casual tone. If the web copy you are writing is a blog, then a conversational tone, though still grammatically correct, is usually appropriate, and more appealing to the reader. Blog writers can (and often do) use cliches (despite my warnings in Part 4!) and jargon or colloquial expressions.
Students presenting papers for grading must always be formal in their language use, trust me, your professor will not be amused by colloquial expressions and mastering a scholarly, academic writing style should be your first step on entering higher education.
So when is a more informal style acceptable? Personal emails, Facebook, Twitter, letters (if anyone still writes letters) to family and friends, notes asking your neighbour to water your plants; all these require a chatty, informal style. Additionally, 'textspeak' (LOL, TTYL, BFN, etc.) and emoticons are acceptable for friendly emails, Facebook and Twitter (texting acronyms are almost de rigueur for the last two). One last word of advice though, particularly with regard to Facebook and Twitter; avoid profanity and personal details of your love life or drunken exploits unless you are 100% certain that only very select 'friends' can see your posts. Apart from the possibility of your mother reading about your mammoth hangover (or worse), bear in mind also that employers now use social media extensively when recruiting, so take care over what you post or at least over who can see it!

A New and Improved Social Media T-Shirt Marketing Service for the English and Spanish Speaking Markets Will Launch Soon
A New and Improved Social Media T-Shirt Marketing Service for the English and Spanish Speaking Markets Will Launch Soon

Dr. Fiona Caldwell
Pets Best Insurance resident vet, Dr. Fiona Caldwell BOISE, ID, May 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pets Best Insurance believes that knowledge is power--especially when it comes to our pets' health care. While the pet insurance company always recommends taking a pet in for veterinary evaluation at the first sign of illness, it has also created a means for pet owners to ask a licensed veterinarian general pet health and behavioral questions on its Facebook page.
Dr. Fiona Caldwell, of Idaho Veterinary Hospital in Nampa, Idaho responds to the questions on film each week. The clips are then posted to the Pets Best Insurance Facebook wall, http://www.facebook.com/PetsBestInsurance and the Pets Best Insurance website.
When prompted by the Pets Best Insurance Facebook moderator, "friends" are welcomed to post their questions directly on the company's Facebook wall. They can then expect their questions to be answered by the vet weekly.
"Sometimes pets do things that seem bizarre to us that are completely normal for them," President and Founder of Pets Best Insurance, Dr. Jack Stephens said. "There's reassurance in hearing that something your pet is doing is nothing to worry about."
If Dr. Caldwell feels she needs more information about any specific question she receives, she will suggest the owner "talk with their veterinarian." After all, nothing replaces a good physical exam and periodic diagnostic screening of your pet for good health and early detection of disease.
Boise, Idaho-based Pets Best Insurance provides pet insurance plans that reimburse pet owners at a straightforward 80 percent of veterinary services after a deductible, with no benefit schedules or fee restrictions. Pets Best Insurance plans do not include age restrictions and allow the pet owner to choose their veterinarian. Any pet has guaranteed acceptance for accident-only polices, ensuring that even seriously ill pets can be insured against unexpected costs from accidental injury. The Pets Best Insurance team is a group of pet lovers who strive to deliver quality customer service and value. Insurance plans offered and administered by Pets Best are underwritten by Aetna Insurance Company of Connecticut (AICC). In states in which AICC is not yet licensed, policies are underwritten by North Pointe Casualty Insurance Company. This material describes Pets Best Insurance plans in general terms.

Pets Best Insurance resident vet, Dr. Fiona Caldwell BOISE, ID, May 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pets Best Insurance believes that knowledge is power--especially when it comes to our pets' health care. While the pet insurance company always recommends taking a pet in for veterinary evaluation at the first sign of illness, it has also created a means for pet owners to ask a licensed veterinarian general pet health and behavioral questions on its Facebook page.
Dr. Fiona Caldwell, of Idaho Veterinary Hospital in Nampa, Idaho responds to the questions on film each week. The clips are then posted to the Pets Best Insurance Facebook wall, http://www.facebook.com/PetsBestInsurance and the Pets Best Insurance website.
When prompted by the Pets Best Insurance Facebook moderator, "friends" are welcomed to post their questions directly on the company's Facebook wall. They can then expect their questions to be answered by the vet weekly.
"Sometimes pets do things that seem bizarre to us that are completely normal for them," President and Founder of Pets Best Insurance, Dr. Jack Stephens said. "There's reassurance in hearing that something your pet is doing is nothing to worry about."
If Dr. Caldwell feels she needs more information about any specific question she receives, she will suggest the owner "talk with their veterinarian." After all, nothing replaces a good physical exam and periodic diagnostic screening of your pet for good health and early detection of disease.
Boise, Idaho-based Pets Best Insurance provides pet insurance plans that reimburse pet owners at a straightforward 80 percent of veterinary services after a deductible, with no benefit schedules or fee restrictions.
