Another circular transaction via the social web!

The PMN was thrown together so quickly several years ago, and wasn't well designed from the beginning. I believe that's one of the reasons why it seems to suffer from lack of use and attention. It is such a great idea and could grow into something so much bigger and brighter than it is if it was re-designed and re-built from scratch by a talented designer and development team that really understands Social Networks and Media. @Dave – I agree.

Surely, Mevio hasn't fired all its webmonkeys yet...

The nice this is that some of them in turn embedded the video on their site or blog, thereby completing a little circle of cross-promotion. I guess just like music can give an extra dimension to video, the artist who wrote the song probably sees their own music in a new (unexpected?) light when used as a soundtrack. Podcasts have also completely changed the way I listen to music. There's so much great fresh music out there that I mostly listen to podcasts now and don't often feel the need to actually purchase and own a song. It's more like a continuous stream of new music. Our old music collection - ripped from CDs to an iPod a few years ago - suddenly seems kind of stale. The only question is how artists are going to earn some revenue in this model.
