Comments on: twitter revenue http://www.blackrimglasses.com/2008/05/11/twitter-revenue/ Music + Technology + Random Nonsense from the Music Industry by Ethan Kaplan, VP Product, Live Nation Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:55:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: whitneymcn http://www.blackrimglasses.com/2008/05/11/twitter-revenue/comment-page-1/#comment-191052 whitneymcn Mon, 12 May 2008 13:35:53 +0000 http://blackrimglasses.com/archives/2008/05/11/twitter-revenue/#comment-191052 I wonder a little about the fan club model: as far as I've seen it hasn't been a huge success without Twitter, and I don't think Twitter offers anything radically different (unless there's a "timely" aspect to the Twitter usage, where Band X tells about otherwise unannounced shows or something - "we're playing a 30 minute set at Club Foo in an hour, come by"). Totally agree on infrastructure - I've already done a couple of little test projects that take advantage of the fact that Twitter offers a user-controlled, device-independent messaging system that you can pretty much just plug in to whatever else you're doing. Could be very, very interesting.
