Get ready for 8-8-8 flickr

A most auspicious day!

Also available in: Deutsch,

We’re celebrating another 24 hours of Flickr on Friday, August 8, 2008!

A year ago, just over 7,000 of you shared a slice of your day from May 5, 2007. It was wonderful to see the similarities (weddings, birthdays, graduations, Cinco de Mayo celebrations, etc.) and differences across the flickrverse.

We’re going to celebrate another 24 hours of Flickr — Flickr 888. Take a photo anytime when it’s August 8th where you are, then share it in the group.

There’s more! Our cool friends at MOO are going to create unique Flickr 888 Postcard Packs that will be available early this fall. So, mark your calendars and save the date for another 24 hours of Flickr, Friday August 8, 2008.

Photos from wazari, Fluffy Wobbleyou, Declan!, and DG Belle.

Investing in Foreclosures Seminar Today

Blue Coast Brings You the Digs
What's Happening in the Foreclosure Market Today

Join us today for a LIVE WEBINAR at 2:00 pm EST, 11:00 am PDT, 7:00 pm GMT to learn how short sales can shape your investment business and portfolios this year: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/130696674.

Investors making money in today's real estate market have no doubt had to change the way they do business. So what are many people doing to make money now? It's called the short sale: the sale of real property where the fair market sale price is less than the loan balance, and is negotiated directly with the lender.

TO LEARN HOW, JOIN TODAY'S LIVE SEMINAR ONLINE, CLICK HERE!

It is estimated that by the year 2010, one in every 40 houses in North America will be short sale properties. Further, Housing Predictor has extended its foreclosure forecast into 2011 nearly doubling its original prediction (now estimated to be 3 million). The opportunity is here - now what?

Learn more about the pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, and short-sale process in today's webinar, by clicking here: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/130696674

SanFran MusicTech Summit

The next SanFran MusicTech Summit, which will
take place on Monday, October 20th, at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco.
:-) More info can be found at http://www.sanfranmusictech.com

We plan to make this even better than the last Summit, which was even
better than the first phenomenal one, and we've got some tricks up our
sleeves to attempt to make this a reality. :-)

The SanFran MusicTech Summit brings together the leading technologists,
musicians, entrepreneurs, reporters, investors, service providers, artist
organizations; many of the folks who are leading the way at the
convergence of culture and commerce. The Summit has been resonating well
both with the leaders of the music/internet/technology movement from the
San Francisco Bay Area who are tired of the effort and expense of flying a
small part of their teams to places such as Austin, Cannes, and Berlin,
who have been begging for a local event such as this so that the market
will come to them. :-), as well as the out of town influencers who are
thrilled to be able to meet the depth of Bay Area talent, all in one
place, in a location they love to visit. Since posting the event to
Facebook on Monday http://www.new.facebook.com/event.php?eid=21018391099 ,
close to 100 folks have already RSVP'd that they're going to make it, and
we are thrilled at the ticket sales so far. :-) The earliest bird highly
discounted pricing ends next Friday.

Initial speakers include folks like Dave Allen Nemo Designs / Pampelmoose
Blog and Label / Ex-Gang of Four Bass Player, Bob Heyman - Mediasmith,
Chief Search Officer, Steve Jang - imeem, CMO & Head of Business
Development, Ethan Kaplan - Warner Bros Records, VP of Technology, Rachel
Masters - Ning, VP of Strategic Relationships, Jack Moffit - Speeqe, CEO /
Chesspark, CEO & Lead Developer / IceCast Streaming Media Server, Creator
/ Xiph Foundation, Co-Founder, Sean O'Connell - Music Allies, Founder &
CEO, Dave Ulmer - Motorola, Sr. Director Multimedia Products and Services,
Carnet William - Sprout, Co-Founder & CEO, Brian Zisk - SanFran MusicTech
Summit, Executive Producer / Future of Music Coalition, Technologies
Director, and we'll be updating the site soon with many more panelists.

So what is the secret sauce? Besides the focus on San Francisco and a
fabulous venue, we go for the most interesting and influential folks in
the field who have a great overview on all sides of the issue, whom are
known to be open to new people and views, and who are straightforward and
willing to call bullshit when they see it, especially, if they are
involved in it. ;-) Our aim is to get panelists talking about what is
interesting to them, as that will always be of interest to the high level
folks in the audience, and then allow plenty of time structured to be
conducive for dealmaking and meeting friends, old and yet to have been
met. We'll also be repeating our elevator pitch session, where a whole
bunch of interesting companies can let others know what they're up to, as
long as it can be done in 60 seconds or less.

Great examples of the panels can now be found on the video player at
http://www.sanfranmusictech.com , and more will be added shortly. If we
get a video sponsor for the next Summit, we'll do this much more
professionally next time.

Any inquiries, comments, questions, feel free to ask, either here, or
offline.

All the best, and hope very much to see you there...

Brian Zisk

Best Buy To Start selling music instruments

Probably long overdue, but now Best Buy is selling musical instruments.

From the low end to mid range, this is a good move for Best Buy. More of a natural progression considering the popularity of RockBand and Guitar Hero, why not sell the real instruments for serious musicians.

There are hundreds if not thousands of rehearsal studios(see this comprehensive rehearsal studio directory), some of which are either working on or are now offering RockBand and Guitar Hero events and competitions.

Guitar Center and Sam Ash and Musicians Friend will have to step it up a notch to compete against this Best Buy. You can see some of what Best Buy will be selling online at:
