One of the aims of this blog is to keep you informed about new things in music business and internet, without overloading you with tons of information. In fact, that’s the main problem of the internet: too much information and no good filters. Each week I try to filter out the most thought-provoking items. It gives you the opportunity to spend only 15 minutes a week on keeping abreast of new things.

This week I would suggest to spend 7 minutes on this talk by Dresden Dolls’ and Twitter guru Amanda Palmer. She relates her career as a street performer to where the music industry is heading in the digital age, a virtual patronage society, where every artist proudly stands on their box and ins’t afraid to put out their hat and ask their fans for money for their music.
