We’re all hardwired for Music


Tomorrow at the London Club, Michael Spencer and I will show you that we are all hardwired for music.  It’s in our very heartbeat.  Naturally, we want to walk the talk and include appropriate sound effects in the accompanying podcast.

There are several ways to include message-appropriate, cost-effective, and life-giving music and sound in social media. YouTubers record it themselves.  The exact mood or effect that you are looking for may be freely available and one link away, if you can find it! SOUNDDOGS.COM would have sold me 63 seconds of ‘pristing feature film quality’ heartbeat for $6.75 from its awsome collection.  Turbo Squid made no such claims, but would still have charged a round $5.

In the end, I followed a recommendation from Lars Ploughmann, whom I met last week while we learned how to podcast from the London Club’s usual master of ceremonies, Lloyd Davis.  Lars’ friend, Martin Christensen, provided me with several sound effects in easy-to-use MP3 format free gratis - for which I give my thanks.

So where are the results?  You’ll have to listen to tomorrow’s podcast to hear them.  There’s still time to input your thoughts and questions to make it a truly interactive evening.

Hello social media web dudes, loved the evening last night.

Here’s a sound social network so you can put together tracks from others peoples stuff. I think this is the social media answer to sharing sound on the web, campfire conversations… Try my humble offering of mixing a 30 second track… ha ha

Great suggestion Toby! Can you remind me how setting a hubtag would work on this??

Hi Ronna

I think we agreed one when we were there: SMCLondonMarch2007 - though it probably needs publicising to the group again via email.

Try searching on the hubtag here SMCLondonMarch2007 on technorati

For anyone who is organising another event the steps are:

1. Choose a unique hubtag for the event (use http://www.hubtag.com)

2. Publicise amongst your participants

3. Search the web 2-3 days later (or set up a google alert to do it for you) and see what people have posted.

Cheers
