So I am experiencing the transition in the power of the Internet on just about anything, but today it really hit home as to the speed things happen. You hear reporters getting the news in their ears before they actually get on scene or as it is happening, mainly because of places like YouTube, MySpace, and Cell Phone Videos uploaded at record speeds. People are on it 24/7 and things are rarely missed.
Last night my daughter’s boyfriend group, NLT, hit the top 4 on the charts, up from 34 or so the day or week before (don’t quote me or your miss the point).
The Radio station, KissFm, said that they broke the current record on being the fastest moving song up the charts ever!
As I thought about it, it did not surprise me. This record will be broken again in about a week. LOL… and a week after that if there good.
The point is the POWER of Viral News fueled by Texting, Voting, Streaming, and Chat rooms is closing up the times from publish to recognition is just amazing. I am happy to see this as the public gets to experience many more different types of up and coming Mainstream groups, Indy groups, and anything faster that would have never been heard about 5 years ago.
The Internet has put the power in everyones hands. Don’t under estimate it.
