http://www.synklynk.com/index.php Music for your people en-us Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:04:39 EST http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://www.synklynk.com/index.php/30 We’ve also used our technology for Brushfire Records, Jack Johnson’s Universal Music imprint, to provide digital copies of Rogue Wave’s new album, Asleep at Heaven’s Gate to vinyl LP purchasers. In this instance, Brushfire requested one-time use promo codes, rather than multiple tracking codes, as used with Stern Grove. Audiophiles, who are still buying vinyl copies of their favorite music, represent an extremely lucrative demographic to the remaining major labels, and SynkLynk enables Brushfire/Universal to build a more captive interaction with these valuable consumers.

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:59:51 EST http://www.synklynk.com/index.php/29 http://www.synklynk.com/index.php/24 We've been working on developing a site for the N64 Kids of YouTube fame, and its now live at N64 Kids.com. We did all front and back end design, utilized the YouTube API to develop the user submission feature, and integrate ringtone and other multimedia giveaways to drive site membership. There's an earth-shakingly original TV commercial utilizing their iconic Xmas morning footage about to hit the conventional airwaves courtesy of the Ultimate German Driving Company that will be added to the site shortly. Check it out, join the site, and let us know what you think.

Follow the link for "Try Not To Think About Bugs." It's the best pop/folk/jazz tune arranged for a wind quartet that you'll hear this year. I know from what I say! Larry's spent the last 25 years as a student, musician, big-time journalist, buddhist monk, and returned again as a musician/journalist/carpenter... Can I Go Now? is a remarkable album, featuring some of the most extraordinary arrangements you'll hear this year...

"Wow, a free track from Jackie Greene! I really like him, let me grab it... what is this? I can't have it until I watch the ad? Damn thing is longer than a TV commerical... screw this!" Pity the poor user... what's more, unless the user logs in at least once a month, the tunes go away... pooft! The wonders of the Windows Media DRM. No Mac users allowed. No iPods either. Now let's look at this from a business standpoint. SynkLynk downloads keeps the sponsoring company's (not a third party like SpiralFrog) brand in front of that user throughout the download process; in most cases, the entire promotion occurs at the sponsor's website. We generate as much (if not more) marketing data from the download as the SpiralFrog alternative. We give the validated user a link to MP3 file, playable on any computer or portable device, delivered in an email with any additional marketing content or "buy links" desired to monetize the promotion, and further increase branding opportunities... Spiral Frog's solution kisses the user goodbye after the commerical... So, marketing folks from Perry Ellis, along with all the other folks looking to capitalize on the power of "instant gratification marketing," try us out... we deliver. We deliver users... buzz... success. Oh yeah, here's a really free track from Jackie Greene.
