Digital Music Forum West
Last week I walked off a plane from London and gave my first music industry talk, an evening keynote at Digital Music Forum West in Los Angeles that ended just as the Biden-Palin debate was starting up. Fun talk to prep for, as the last 3 months at EMI have been such a “drinking from the firehose”-experience that synthesizing all the data into a brief enough format was tricky, but the experiences of building Second Life — particularly user-driven innovation and the tremendous explosion of music within SL — provided the right scaffolding to build around.
