Songs in the Key of Steve and Sub-Contract Planning
Steve Jobs is the man to watch as the computer industry and music industry join forces. His new distribution company may be the answer to making a singles based record industry profitable. His new format, ACC may replace MP3. I have read and scanned the fortune article "Songs in the Key of Steve" and will send it to Clint as soon as we're on IM together (because of it's very large size).
I begun to put plan out our "hands off" booking methods. It is clear from "IBM on the Future of Media" (see post below) that a successful media company will have to partner with other companies to create scale and have a system that is available for input for content creators and access by customers around the clock with little to no human interaction. Combining those principles means that Clint and I should be looking towards creative ways to bring booking agents into the company on a commission basis and automating many "behind the scenes" functions with our website.
