Greetings Friends,
I have been working for some time to upgrade our blog site. Now I am excited to launch: TraceTV – Film – Music – Social Media at TraceTV.tv I hope you’ll visit soon.
At the start up, I am re-posting some of the most popular items from our previous wordpress.com blog, and I invite you to take a spin around the site, kick the tires and give me some feedback. It is definitely a work in progress.

Meanwhile, we are producing a series of ten videos about using Social Media for business for the freelance professional as well as music news, image tips and an interview with an acclaimed author. These videos are being created with some fine assistance from Cathrine Hatcher of Personas Image Dynamics, Jeff Mack of Texas Music Channel and freelance sound technician Jason Meyers. The first installment will be ready soon and will be posted on our TraceTVfilm YouTube channel and embedded on this blog, so I hope you’ll come back soon!
Best to all…

How does social network marketing work? This is a low tech video explaining in a clear manner how to use sites like FaceBook, MySpace. Linkedin and more to benefit you. I had nothing to do with the video, don’t even know this guy, but I think this makes a good companion to my previous post “Social Networking the New Year, and why not?”
