Atheists banned from MySpace

Social networking site, MySpace.com, panders to religious intolerants by deleting atheist users, groups and content.

Early this month, MySpace again deleted the Atheist and Agnostic Group (35,000 members). This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the second time MySpace has canceled the group since November 2007.

Tha Tan – "To be a Hundred" – CD Review

image

Tha Tan -  the Thai-Brazilian symphonic rock band made a great start with this album, not only because of it being the pet project of giants like Peter Gabriel, Steve Lukather and Brian Eno but also because this first album delivered a monstrous summerhit "falsified dream", which stayed on #1 for several months in several South American countries. The first part of the CD contains a powerful rock experience which clearly shows  the musical science education of all the band members (except for the drummer Bob)  while the second part clearly shows the strong influence of the drummer "Bob" (2m50 and heavy weight boxing champion) in the band since it contains 4 songs of 10 minutes only consisting of drum solos. This second part of the CD could drive you crazy, but apparently the live audience absolutely goes wild when Bob takes the stage.  In essence it will enter rock history as one of the most influential albums of our age but also one of the weirdest. (Tha Tan – To be a hundred was release by EMI on 28-01-2008). P.S: there are rumors on the Internet that the band is in the studio preparing an acoustic version of the song "You are Everybody"!

My Jango Jukebox

I’ve written about and seen a LOT of new music sites, A LOT. But somehow Jango is the one that works for me. It’s simple to start with but has some great layers once you dive in deeper. You can leave it on all day.

So hereby I declare Jango my ultimate favorite music site of all 150 music sites in my collection of greatest music sites, just because it magically works.

It’s a shame that this little applet doesn’t fit in my sidebar, but let’s just blog my musical preferences here: (the applet only shows some artists from "Edwards Car Music Radio Channel" :)

 

Invites for NotchUp Beta!

imageI got an invite for NotchUp, which is a pretty novel way of recruiting. It’s for people who are perfectly happy at their current job but… if a company pays you $500 just to speak with you and have to possibility to make you an offer (interview) you would be interested.

How does it work?

a) someone has to invite you (contact me if you want an invite), then you sign up and import your linkedin profile (or
manually enter it) (hidden profile, high privacy settings and your contact details will be anonymous)

b) you just forget about it

c) the top companies of this earth will bid on your profile to speak to you according to the price you set (you can calculate an advised price on the front page, I set it to $350 for an interview). Whenever you see something interesting you do the interview and earn $$$.

I think this is a good initiative in the current *there are no resources on the market* situation. For us, simple resources, why wouldn’t you want to earn a new WII by just going to an interview? If you have the right profile and there is demand for your skills you could earn a lot of money by just holding interviews. If you are like me, you get these 2 or more phone calls a week from headhunters anyhow, so why not make it fun / a source of income instead of irritating, just forward them to notchup and let them pay you to speak to you. Perfect solution.

tip: Earn $14 per 1000 pageviews (beta closes 1 feb)

I got an e-mail from Marc who told me netaudioads is paying around $14 per 1000 pageviews for ads. I refused (since I think audio will scare my visitors away), but got a follow-up e-mail on which I decided to at least blog it for those of you who would like to earn $14 per 1000 pageviews.

This sort of income is pretty much I think, many more times the amount of google ads, so it will be of benefit for some of you. Basically you could start earning hundreds of dollars a month without visually showing any ads without any strings attached.

The only thing you have todo is to place the code on your website and that’s it, money will start rolling in. Since it is a beta you have to act quickly because after the beta ends (1 februari I think) you will never have this opportunity again, the affiliate group will be closed, so at least register yourself so you can think about it later.

Here is an informative video

Here is the full explanation and sign-up page.

If you sign up and interest someone who will place the ads on his page you get 5% of the revenue forever, so that’s also interesting.

Here is what my logic is: just sign up, blog a blog posting, then forget about it and if anyone ever in the existence of this weblog signs up via the link I start making money indefinitely automatically :)

What’s it about?

A new young company started with the idea of selling audio ads on webpages. According to the wall street journal this is the next big thing but immediately afterwards there came lots of critics and discussions on the web if it will work or if it will fail (which is still going on). What they will try to do is to sell little 5 seconds audio ads on webpages (visitors will not hear any other ads when visiting other pages for some minutes). This company and about half of the internet business population believes this will be the next big thing, the other half believes it will be one big fiasco. So who knows. My first reaction was: audio on webpages is like 1996 geocities pages with midi background *argh*, then again, when I read further on the Internet and followed some discussions I slightly changes my mind, maybe I’m just growing old who knows. But signing up now in the beta period leaves all options open for me, so that’s what I did, I will follow this trend closely.
