It is the 25-54 year old crowd that is actually driving this trend.

When you come across a brilliant site it so often feels like it comes through one person. Or at least there’s a very strong sense of singularity in the way it’s written and presented." I always wanted to be a webmaster.

The relationship between musicians and the people who make music websites is slightly broken. The problem is that anyone developing a new service for bands has to make money to keep the project afloat - and that means pulling in enough eyeballs to sell advertising on the site. The best way to get people to stick around to click on some ads? Make them invest time and energy in creating a profile, and encourage them to continually update it.

The old digital agency model is not helpful today. Instead, the industry can learn a lot from social start-ups (like Vimeo - who I am in love with, or SoundCloud) and work as fast as possible, being entrepreneurial, pragmatic, and nimble [...] People in traditional agencies - ‘old new media’ and our cousins in advertising - say they find all of the above quite challenging - which is weird because these agencies are stuffed with really smart people.

Once we get the book from the last famous person, we’ll auction it on ebay and donate all the money to the NSPCC."
