Re: Traktor Scratch Pro – Review

Ben -

There is built in streaming, through Traktor Scratch Pro itself. You can set custom proxy, full server settings (ogg/vorbis is default) and set your own URL/descriptions/meta. It seems to be a pretty complete streaming system, though I wish that it would allow mp3.

In fairness, it might. I just haven't done much looking into it, since we use a custom Shoutcast-based broadcasting solution for Bassdrive.

Thanks for the support!

Hey guys - Sorry, but the B-Complex portion won't be on the archives. There's a conflict, with there being too many unreleased tracks from the forthcoming Hospital Sick Music compilation. As for the rest, you can find it at http://www.BassdriveArchive.com

Sadly, no. It's REALLY hard to keep a TL when I'm playing these live.

Thanks Aaron. I always love waking up on Friday to do the show. Today was just one of those days where everything went right. I'm looking fwd to the new Audio Digest today, too. With taking 2 weeks off, there's a wealth of new stuff to cover.

Thanks for the kind words, DenDe.

As for Stunna's stuff - he generally doesn't archive his shows, because of the vast amount of unreleased/unfinished music that he plays on them.

Hahahah, yeah, I suppose that's the proverbial nail in the coffin. Well, Bradley and Mc are all parts of my name. I just keep the Spinn part, so that the "rest" of my world recognizes me still.

Solacetech — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:57:17 -0000

I just started using my real name online. I was nervous but it felt like the right time,and when Robert Scoble said he didn't really trust anyone hiding behind a "username", that sealed the deal for me...

Re: Can Social Networks Hurt You? | My Philly Network

Spinn — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:25:05 -0000

I use my real name in a lot of venues, but I also use a screen name that's been associated with my face for quite some time. It's all a matter of where I'm residing, online, at any moment.

As far as the rest goes - there is no such thing as mutually exclusive, these days. Ask anyone who has had their text messages tapped, and used against them.

I'm not a programmer. Never have been. For what I do, WordPress serves me well and allows me to do all I want.

Re: louisgray.com: Walking the SEO Balance Beam

Spinn — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:38:10 -0000

It seems to me, however, that we're plagued by one big problem. Of course, those of us who are on this level of understanding can see both sides of the picture, with the positives and negatives of each. But we're not necessarily the problem (or at least not the whole of it).

The problem comes with those who are new to blogging, SEO and website management. They're going to look around at resources, and use sites such as Mahalo for a guide, because it generates huge traffic (albeit somewhat worthlessly). These same people are the ones who are 5 years behind in understanding traffic patterns and what makes a website tick. They're still embedding audio files that load when their website comes up, and annoying the heck out of us who got tired of that in 1999.

So what's the answer? Of course, there's no one right answer, but articles such as this are a start. The challenge lies in spreading the word far enough that these new publishers will be able to hear it.

This presents a double-edged sword. They're most likely not savvy enough yet to have a list of favorite sites that they check for advice and trends. So instead of being able to disseminate this information to them as we'd like to (organic hits, from them), it's nearly in our best interest to market to them via SEO, so that there's a higher chance of them finding the message.

Somewhere, there has to be a balance. I'm hoping to get some discussion going on this balance, either here or in reply to an open question on my own site. I like what you've had to say, Cyndy. It's pushed me to look other directions.

CyndyA — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:16:32 -0000

Thanks. I've just been frustrated lately by some of the heavy-handed SEO techniques that are rendering the Web unreadable. Mahalo is the most egregious example, but even 7 or 8 links in a 250-word piece are over the top when it comes to readability. I'd much rather see a "related content" link, but if I really like what I see, I'm more likely to subscribe. I'd much rather see new subscribers than hits on older content.
