Especially after reading some numbers in the Financial Times, I was motivated to point out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20110320\/05135413565\/why-ny-times-paywall-business-model-is-doomed-to-fail-numbers.shtml\">why the NYT paywall business model is flawed<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>As a DJ, music biz 2.0 consultant and music lover, I see a lot of great and terrible ways in which artists deal with their fans.

I&#8217;ll be regularly writing articles like this; the first one&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.official.fm\/how-to\/5-ways-improve-connection-fans-immediately\/\">five ways in which you can improve your connection with your fans immediately<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Last week I got hired by <strong>music-tech startup <a href=\"http:\/\/www.official.fm\/\">official.fm<\/a><\/strong>, so I wrote some articles about ways in which their platform can be used <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.official.fm\/contest\/inspiring-ways-embedded-players\/\">through embedded players<\/a> or the way <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.official.fm\/electronic\/spotlight-french-fashion-electro-label-kitsun-officialfm\/\">fashion and music-label Kitsun\u00e9<\/a> is doing it.<\/li>\n<li>Public release of my thesis coming soon!
