WHAT IS INDIELINK? Indielink is a service that uses micro-blogging platforms to connect everyone involved in the indie music industry. Micro-blogging is the fastest growing way to stay connected and is quickly becoming the medium of choice for bloggers. Through indielink, OOMG (Open Optics Music Group) applies exciting technologies to connect everyone involved in the independent music scene locally, nationally and world wide. Micro-blogging is a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates (say, 140 characters or fewer) or micro-media such as photos or audio clips and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web. Artists, producers, entrepreneurs, engineers, managers, entertainment lawyers, booking agents, promoters, A&Rs, PR consultants, publicists, photographers, web designers, models, video directors and anyone else involved directly or indirectly in the indie music scene can use this service. Simply tag your conversations, news, updates, show schedules, job openings, etc…by typing "#indielink" in your twitter posts. Simply sign up for a twitter account at twitter.com and follow indielink: twitter.com/indielink.
