twitter your album review

Twitter all over the place right now. Everyone has his twitter feed and idem do artists. Consequently, today’s musicians have a myspace page, a facebook group/profile, a blog, a last.fm profile, a flickr photostream and a twitter feed. .. and probably an official web page.

Moby just released his 9th studio album (“wait for me”) and let fans write reviews via twitter. Twitter users just post your review starting with @thelittleidiot and ending with #waitforme. Further, the most creative review wins an original ‘Wait for Me’ artork by Moby!

I share, therefore I am.

Is there any social something?

Data portability between social networks

Data portability aims to have an open standard which allows the user to have one profile across all the social networks like Facebook, WordPress, MySpace, del.icio.us and all the others. Dataportability.org: “As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen (and trusted) tools or vendors.” Dataportability supports APML (Attention Profiling Mark-up Language), a mark-up language which compresses all our “attention data”, quasi our meta data, into one file.

From the marketers point of view, I am not quite sure about the idea of data portability because I think the big players like Facebook have huge communities and most of all the profile details of all the users. Therefore, I do not think that they want to share these details with other communities. However, it could be a new way to even better detect customer’s needs and thus customize services.
