My face in Times Square? Would be nice!

About.me has launched a contest to find new faces for our fall promotion. Selected winners will see their about.me page featured across our campaign, including on a giant billboard in Times Square. In addition, three grand-prize winners will receive a trip to New York City to see their page in lights and attend an exclusive about.me event.

Accidently, just by having an About.me profile, I participate in this promotion by the AOL-acquired company. If you haven't tried about.me yet, be sure to register for free here, and meanwhile - leave a vote for my page ;)

PS: The funny part is that I cannot win; only US residents are eligible to participate in the contest. But my page is in the top 15% currently, so why not to give a shot? This will be a cool little experiment.

Band Manchester Orchestra uses Turntable.FM to share new tracks with fans

Manchesterorchestra
On June 28th the members of Manchester Orchestra took to the recently launched Turntable.fm to interact with their fans.

From the press release:

Each member of the band took turns spinning some of their favorite music and chatted with their fans for nearly four hours. For the lucky fans that got into the session, the event was highlighted by the band sharing two unreleased and previously unheard demos that they recently recorded. The band announced the special session on Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday afternoon informing fans they would tweet the DJ room link out at 7:59 PM EST. The room immediately filled upon announcement and quickly became one of the highest trafficked rooms on the site. The band plans to hold additional DJ sessions on TurnTable.FM in the coming months.

Entertaining and timely, though Turntable.fm remains closed only to the US visitors (I must confess that I didn't see it coming using the service just two weeks ago).
