How to Find New Music Using Social Media

by Nate Ritter on 10/15/2008 in General with 3 Comments Tweet

So, I admit that yes, I have quite a few followers on Twitter.  I’m no Chris Brogan though.  But, I’ve been in a new-music slump these days and wanted to test the power of social media.

No, I take that back.  I’m just lazy.  I know that social media is powerful.

When I went to sleep last night I was wishing I could have some new music to listen to when I woke up.  My last post of the evening was asking a simple question.

Here are the very happy results this morning:

So, to those of you who think Twitter is useless and that social media doesn’t yield results… You’re welcome for the new music. Enjoy.

And thanks to everyone who responded. My ears are happier.

   Right on man! I used Twitter for the same reason last night. Asked for recommendations on good Indian food in the area and got better information from my Twitter followers than I did from Yelp!. Found a great place and me and my girlfriend had some awesome Indian dinner! #nom!

   Is it because I’m not on twitter?
   Is this why?

   Hah… sorry man. Yea, Twitter just makes it easy to ask. Just experimenting. :) The point is the same though… friends and awesome people are the best way to find cool stuff.
