Hi thounders,
We spent nice days in Cannes at MIDEM. We’ve met a lot of interesting people.
The most cool guy was Coolio! He has also added a line on my thound.
Check it out, it is amazing
Thounds is only four months old and already showing at MIDEM, our agendas are getting busy with interesting meetings and conferences to follow, and be sure you are going to read lots from us through the next days.
MIDEM is the the largest music convention in Europe (some might say on the Planet) with nearly 10,000 partecipants from 4,000 companies gathered in the Palais de Festivals in Cannes, France from Saturday 23rd to Wednesday 27th January.
Who’s attending the show? Probably everyone in the music industry, record labels, promoters, licensing companies, artists, managers, social networks, content aggregators, music journalists, etc
During the exhibition, not only we will introduce our web platform (and new mobile application) but also we are joining forces with SplitGigs, a new start up that helps bands to swap live slots.
Come and find us all at the OpenSpace pavillion, pod no. 34!
… or follow us on Twitter @thounds and Facebook www.facebook.com/thounds
Going from inspiration to sharing (through recording) now becomes as easy as pie.
What can be shared?
Any thoundstrack that you set at public from your library (click “edit info” for the tweak)
You can modify this property only if you own the track, that is if you started it.
Share with a Thounds page
You can invite your friends or audience to a specific URL to play the thoundstrack.
Just click on the title of the track and you will get its own Thounds page, where you can play the thounstrack alone and find many sharing options (Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Delicious, …) for spreading your inspiration to others.
Post your Thoundstrack on Facebook
Go to the Thounds player page (see above) and copy the URL address, then paste in your comments. Or the simpel way: just click the Facebook icon below and you will get the preview of the embedded player.
Facebook share for Thounds (example)
Ever wondered what is the most used tag in Thounds?
Well, we did and we now thank our developers for passing on the information.
We thought of band names, genres, instruments, locations but our guesses failed because the most used actually is …
Try a guess, word up thounders
Hallo and happy New Year thounders!
We are back on track and have great news for you: Thounds is attending MIDEM, the European’s leading music show in Cannes (France) and want to showcase the best recordings we have collected so far.
If you like the idea of being played to a potential crowd of label managers, record labels officers, PR people, distributors, etc don’t wait any more and start a thound or collaborate on an existent one.
Tip: make your thound public (go to “library > edit info”) and share its link with a comment below so other users can play along with it.
