Do a better job of what you are already doing

Hey….I am listening to classical piano. How interested to do you think I am in tbs postseason baseball? Yup! You are right! I am NOT. Zippo, nada, nothing, don’t bother me with it. Don’t try to sell beer to me either. Go sell both to someone listening to Country.

PLEASE get a clue. Statistically speaking there are certain types of people who listen to certain types of music. You know who they are and what they are listening to. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE AND SELL IT TO THEM. That is your responsibility as an advertising platform. Where on earth is your research? Where is your data mining? TARGETED advertisements will make you more money and you will have happier users.

You guys really should pay me to straighten out your advertising. And you need some Google pizzazz. You are missing the blue M&Ms….the sparkle that makes it fun and innovative. Sure what you are doing is innovative, but you haven’t conveyed that to your users. Your graphical interface is so boring and two dimensional. You say you have the music genome….lets see it, live and in real time. Show me the connections, show me the people, let me join conversations. Let me navigate through it, touch it and listen to it.

Work your Interface

You want eyeballs? Well what the heck are they supposed to look at? Does Pandora have any Mac users…go ask them how to make your interface better. Got anyone who surfs the web? As them how to make your webpage as cool as their favorite interactive webpage.

Your Bose ad is ok. Certainly has natural interest for a music lover. But why not integrate it into the user experience? “Select a song to listen to on the Bose sounddock 10.” And let them listen to any song they want. THAT will get you click through and give Bose a great platform to sell their product.

I want to actually SEE the album art…not those dinky thumbnails. The artist aren’t going to have a problem with this…it is advertising for them pure and simple. So get big beautiful images of the album art and then present it to me without additional effort on my part.

Dang, there is your stupid tbs advertisement again. I just listened to it two songs ago.

Go beyond the “Interface” model

Bridge the gap between your video series and your music. Do a “slide show” while you play music. It is low tech but miles better than what you have now.

Make three dimensional navigable avatar based world where you can listen to the tunes…running water, trees, rain, whatever. Lose the interface and have a cool looking avatar play the tunes, or have a virtual band you can dress up and tell what to play. Just drop your ads in to the world as items…a Bose on the table, an avatar plunking down the ipod in it, and music, beautiful music pouring out. And for heavens sake, make sure that when I click on the Bose that it goes to the Bose advertising website or that the avatar give a blurb about it. How long will it take you advertising dudes to stop interrupting my experience without my permission? I think that might be a fundamental right for users on the internet.

And have real concerts in your world. The artists would love it…all the exposure with none of the travel time, pyrotechnics without the pyro, crowd control without the crowd.

Freedom from the Man

Why on earth don’t you have a composing/mixing/uploading program? Where is the contest for music that the users write? The digital cameras and internet forums have leveled the playing field for photography. What about leveling the playing field for musicians? Get access to the audience without the stamp of the “Man.” Why aren’t you the Flickr for music? You are supposedly the best at indexing them, right? For that matter, why aren’t you the Google for songs? Why can’t I search for songs by characteristic? Where is your search engine?

In Internet time, you are balding and fat

You guys have a long way to go, and so many possibilities. As long as you continually add to the experience of your users…you are golden! But get boring…get superseded.

Go get some venture capital and take the world by storm

I have T-Mobile. I'm getting my paycheck next week so I wanna buy an iphone, since the locked ones are cheaper on ebay than the unlocked ones, I wanted to buy a locked iphone on ebay for like 200 dollars. And I have a friend, whose sister knows how to unlock iphones and has done it in the past. So if I bought the locked iphone got my friends sister to unlock it, put my t-mobile sim card in, will it work?
