My Mom
Think about it like this. Not only are you competing with a bijillion other musicians out there — both established and off the couch — but now, thanks to Twitter and Facebook (MySpace is soooooooo last century) you’re competing with my mom. Seriously. If her micro-blogging content is more compelling than yours, you’re screwed.
After all, fans are semi-limited. There’s only so much room we have in our hearts. And only so much time in the day. And only so much money to give/spend. And we are hella choosy. If you don’t have me at RT, somebody else will. And that somebody could very well be my mom. Or your mom. Or Joe the Plumber.
Web 3.0 = everyone has the potential to have an audience, to have fans. It’s like some uber-version of Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame. Only now it’s 140 characters or less. So yours better be good.
