I am actually somewhat opposite of you, however; I have TOO MUCH free time to work on my own stuff since I don't have a full-time gig. I imagine we both envy each other somewhat on that issue. Thanks for the kind words, and I too am excited to follow you on Twitter and see what you'll be working on in the future! Sounds like a very exciting time for you right now!

Whew! Job security! I'm on the journey myself, simultaneous to implementing several (new) social media strategies for folks in the music business (meaning that, due to the demand, I hardly have time to work on my own stuff!). In the nineties, I worked in music in NYC (was starting to deal with some heavy names) but left to start a family in AZ and work in sales/marketing in other fields-would've been impossible to be a suburbanite/mom/wife and work in music at that level, considering the geographical disadvantage. Now with the social web, I'm back in music. My location: The Web. The social web is such a new concept to many of the 'ole music guys who once counted on large numbers of (retail) record sales and kept the keys to that kingdom. Some of these guys, I either worked for or looked up to from afar-the guys who managed/produced/developed major stars at the Mariah Carey level. Now I am ('lil me-living in AZ, with my "laptop thingy" and my "geeky internet friend networks") getting some big ears to perk up and buy in. They're shifting a big part of their focus to communities and it's pure bliss for me! Communities have the power. They need us and we need them. It's such and exciting time for us all! Please keep it up, Brandon! I'm looking forward to following you on Twitter as well as your cool blog! All the best, Bridget Zeuner (Zoy-ner) bridgetztalk on Twitter Brandon,
