I heard that too Mapman. I think it's great. As the one person said during that story, Id be dumfounded to not be able to find an artist on there. A serious artist has to have a Youtube presence or they're not going to make it in this world. I've found a ton of live performances of some of my favorite musicians on YouTube. It streams perfectly very well on my iPad Mini, which is practically an extension of my arm when I'm home.
Youtube, the new radio?
Marketplace on NPR had a piece yesterday about youtube metrics becoming a main factor for determining hit songs, replacing the traditional role of radio.
Seems like a good thing to me. People should have more direct say now in what becomes a hit based on popularity, with radio stations and their corporate owners having less influence on these things by deciding up front what gets airplay or not.
What do y'all think?
