Get Green Music Makes A Stand on The Gulf Oil Spill

The people of the United States of America are faced with the worse environmental tragedy in the history of our great country. No one can deny the negative effects the oil spill will have on our environment and way of life. As Americans and Great People of this place we call “Mother Earth” we are given choices of what we can do during this disaster:
A. Find someone to blame (Blame doesn’t clean up the mess and waste time)
B. Wait for someone else to step in and save the day (This is just lazy)
C. Be Americans and come together as a country to save our environment by allowing our actions to speak loader than our words (Our Country is Built on Unity)
Get Green Music is Choosing “C” and Rolling Up Our Sleeves to Get The Gulf Clean!
GetGreenMusic.org has developed a complete Environmentally Aware Social Community . After 18 months of beta testing, our new site was scheduled to launch in late August. Due to the Oil Mess in the Gulf we have decided to launch ASAP. Within the next 10 days we will open our New Music Store and eBook Store. Our social network will be updated with the latest functions expected out of a social environment.
GGM Will Donate 100% of GetGreenMusic.org’s profits to the Gulf Oil Spill Clean Up Efforts aka Get Clean. To make an impact we need support from each and  everyone of you. It’s simple to get involved.
Go to GetGreenMusic.org and simple download your favorite music and 100% of profits will be donated to operation “Get Clean”.
Artist, we are asking a little more of you. We ask that you market to your fans to purchase your music downloads via Get Green Music, post banners on your website and social networks linking directly to your tracks on GGM’s catalog, include GGM in eblast and newsletters and leverage your live shows to bring awareness to GGM and it’s efforts for operation “Get Clean”. Any additional support will be greatly appreciated.
We look forward to teaming up with our current Charities, Action Sports Environmental Coalition and Environmental Media Association, to decide how our efforts will be conducted during project Get Clean.
Please contact me regarding project Get Clean.

Time To Roll Up Our Sleeves

Greetings,
Yesterday after my family returned from the beach where we live in North Eastern Florida, they were full of exciting new beach adventures. I paid little attention to the details cause it sounded like a rerun of some fun I missed out on once again. Then Brandi gave me the parental low down. She shared with me that sea life that it is abnormal to see in our region is landing on our beaches and dying. This news was very disturbing.
I spent the next several hours thinking how this could be happening. So I concluded, The oil spill is driving sea life south out of the Gulf and forcing sea life in that area to migrate north. Once the sea life migrates north, the climate change causes the sea life to die. I am not a scientist or an expert but I am someone who has spent most of his life on this beach and I understand something is not right. All this is happening within weeks of the start of this MAN MADE DISASTER. Imagine if we wait any longer to help. What will happen to our OCEANS? Our BEACHES? The way we know life on the Gulf Coast, Caribbean, East Coast and beyond will be changed for ever?  Bottom Line…
GetGreenMusic.org is fed up with the Oil CRAP in the Gulf!
So we are putting a challenge on the table.
Artist, we challenge you to only market music downloads from GetGreenMusic.org.
Fans, we challenge you to only purchase music downloads from GetGreenMusic.org.
We Will Donate 100% of GetGreenMusic.org’s profits to Gulf Oil Spill Clean Up Efforts aka Get Clean. We look forward to teaming up with our current Charities, Action Sports Environmental Coalition and Environmental Media Association, to decide how our efforts will be conducted during project Get Clean.
GetGreenMusic.org has been doing some serious work on developing a complete Environmentally Aware Social Community . After 18 months of beta testing, our new site was scheduled to launch in late August. Due to the Oil Mess in the Gulf we have decided to launch ASAP.
Within the next 10 days we will open our New Music Store and eBook Store. Our social network will be updated with the latest functions expected out of a social environment.
To make an impact we need major support from each and  everyone of you. GGM is just the tool that Artist and Fans have to use so EMA and ASEC can make a difference and we all can make an impact. Please contact me regarding project Get Clean. Digital rights will still be paid per download.

What is SmashTour.com

We know that music doesn’t stay up all night writing itself, instruments do not grow on trees, and the chance that gigs are going to start falling from the sky and landing directly on your doorstep are slim to none. As fellow musicians and music lovers, we understand how frustrating it is to pour your heart and soul into your music only to get a cold shoulder from the record labels and barely break even financially. Many musicians are waiting for a label to recognize how talented they are, but the truth is that record companies are not looking for talent, originality, or even musical genius anymore. They are looking for profits and don’t want to rock the boat by investing in those artists who are different than what they’ve already heard. So fans end up stuck listening to more of the same on the radio and potentially revolutionary artists end up giving up on their dreams in order to support themselves. Talented musicians are being forced to deal with crushing hopelessness and devastation caused by having to sacrifice their music careers because they couldn’t make enough money pursuing them while record companies make millions by convincing us that the music they push is all that there is out there.

SmashTour refuses to encourage this degradation of musical standards and it’s our goal to put the future of music back into the hands of musicians and fans where it rightfully belongs.Through SmashTour, bands can get the exposure they deserve and fans will have the right to preview a wide variety of artists and decide for themselves what they enjoy. We have developed a simple set of tools specifically designed to be used by musicians to aggregate fans in order to prevent financial practicalities from interfering with their musical careers. Fans are the only judges that matter and SmashTour believes that each fan deserves to be heard. That is why we have created a largely interactive environment for fans to voice their opinions, recommend music to other fans, and connect directly with artists. Becoming a member of SmashTour won’t cost you a dime and the features included will give you the power to rock the boat, refuse mediocrity and revolutionize the future of music forever.

VUE Mobile Brings Skype Video Chat on a Mobile Device To The States

Greetings,

My name is Shawn Welk. I founded VUE Mobile a few years back to offer small business an affordable Text Message marketing solution better know as SMS Marketing. During this time I grew to love a service that offered 2 way Video Chat, Skype. About a year ago Skype announced it’s Skype Mobile platform. That’s when I thought how cool it would be to be able to Video Chat over a mobile device. From that point on I promised not to have a cell phone till I could video chat on it. Well, 8 months later I figured it out and created the 1st true Visual User Experience… On A Mobile Device!

With technology growing in leaps and bounds it is easy to fall fast behind the changing times. Think of how frustrating it can be to upgrade your mobile phone or device. You hear great things about a new mobile device. So, you go out and buy this cool new gadget all because the sales rep tells you how EASY it is to use. You quickly find out that the instructions will take a computer science degree to figure out. With no where to turn what to do? We can understand your pain but that will not be the case with VUE Mobile…
