			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These last weeks, I keep receiving &#8220;follow notifications&#8221; from underground record labels on Twitter. I thought  it would be interesting to take a look at how they use this tool. So I choose to observe nine &#8220;major&#8221; underground compagnies that have a Twitter page:  <a title="Deathwish Inc. on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/deathwishinc">Deathwish Inc.</a>, <a title="Earache Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/EaracheRecords">Earache</a>, <a title="Epitaph Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/EpitaphRecs">Epitaph</a>, <a title="Facedown Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/facedownrecords">Facedown</a>, <a title="Reflections Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/ReflectionsHQ">Reflections</a>, <a title="Relapse Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/RelapseRecords">Relapse</a>, <span class="fn"><a title="Think Fast! Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/tfr">Think Fast!</a>, <a title="Trustkill Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/Trustkill">Trustkill</a> and <a title="Victory Records on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/victoryrecords">Victory Records</a>.<span id="more-388"></span>Let&#8217;s start with some statistics:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-404" title="Underground record labels on Twitter" src="http://www.monkeywatcher.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/records_underground_twitter.jpg" alt="Underground record labels on Twitter" width="532" height="237" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As these figures show, the Twitter phenomenon is something new in the underground music &#8220;industry&#8221;. <strong>Facedown Records </strong>was the first to join the movement in July 2007, but didn&#8217;t really understand how it works, posting only 42 tweets in almost two years. <strong>Victory Records</strong> was the last to join but seems to be better at tweeting, with already 80 tweets in less than three months and more than 2 400 followers!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most of these record labels use Twitter for the same purposes: promoting new records or events, sharing videoclips and sounds, and sending updates about the label or the bands. But some of them came with better ideas. <strong>Deathwish Inc.</strong> launched a twitter account that broadcasts updates exclusively about their <a title="Sound And Fury Festival on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/sound_and_fury">Sound and Fury festival</a>, they also post random news and pictures (<a href="http://twitter.com/deathwishinc/status/1357779611">using Twitpic and cellphones</a>) from their bands and staff. <strong>Epitaph Records</strong> came up with another great idea: <a href="http://twitter.com/EpitaphRecs/status/1272883712">Twitter contests</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Respond to this tweet with your fav Epitaph band to enter to win a prize!  Just tweet @<a href="http://twitter.com/EpitaphRecs">EpitaphRecs</a> (band name here)! epitaph.com/artists</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Facedown Records</strong> seems to use Twitter as a channel to broadcast <a href="http://twitter.com/facedownrecords/status/136123032">updates on mobiles phones</a>, but doesn&#8217;t tweet regularly. The most &#8220;mainstream&#8221; label from the list, <strong>Trustkill Records</strong>, found another original use of Twitter: tweeting the &#8220;Song of the day&#8221; everyday. This tweet comes with links allowing the followers to download (and buy) the songs from Itunes or Amazon MP3.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One thing is sure: most of these records labels still need to engage and start conversation with their followers. <strong>Deathwish Inc. </strong>and <strong>Relapse Records</strong> are really interacting with people (using @replies and sometimes even retweeting). but the others labels don&#8217;t. Another thing that really struck me is the fact that all these labels are tweeting without naming the person who is actually posting the updates. <strong>Victory Records</strong> is the only one who is clear about the person who&#8217;s in charge:</p>
<blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Mike at Victory Records tweets for the #1 Independent Rock Record Label. We run the streets.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Underground record labels still need to find their way in the Twittosphere. I think they&#8217;re still experimenting and trying to understand how to use this new communication channel. It would be interesting to compare this with how mainstream record labels work with Twitter and engage with their audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Google logo" src="http://www.monkeywatcher.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/google-logo.jpg" alt="Google logo" width="200" height="80" align="left" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Si l&#8217;on en croit <a title="Gene Munster - Piper Jaffray" href="http://www.piperjaffray.com/1col.aspx?id=7&amp;analystid=131">Gene Munster</a> (Senior Research Analyst chez Piper Jaffray), Google aurait récemment changé sa stratégie publicitaire. Comme <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/technology/27google.html?_r=2&amp;ref=technology">le NY Times l&#8217;annonce</a>, Google testerait actuellement une nouvelle manière de cibler les annonces qu&#8217;elle affiche sur son moteur de recherche.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plutôt que contextualiser la publicité sur base &#8211; uniquement -  de la recherche en cours, Google étudiera plusieurs de vos dernières requêtes. A la différence de la concurrence (à savoir Yahoo et AOL), Google espère ainsi obtenir un ciblage plus précis et plus souple, puisqu&#8217;il évoluera au fil des recherches de l&#8217;utilisateur. En effet, le <em>behavioral targeting</em> de la concurrence base le ciblage sur les recherches effectuées parfois plusieurs jours auparavant, alors que Google ne prendra en compte que les requêtes les plus récentes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cette nouvelle réveille, bien entendu, les vieux débats sur l&#8217;utilisation des données personnelles (stockées ici dans les cookies), bien qu&#8217;officiellement, ces cookies ne contiennent pas réellement d&#8217;informations privées (email, nom, coordonées, etc.). Le problème se trouve ailleurs: Google pourrait croiser ces données récoltées pendant les recherches avec des données plus confidentielles (encodées par exemple pour l&#8217;inscription à Gmail ou Google Checkout). Autrement, il serait alors possible de faire le lien &#8211; même si Google affirme que ses différents services ne sont pas connectés -  entre les publicités affichées, les recherches effectuées et les données privées des utilisateurs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Un ciblage adéquat rendrait peut-être la publicité plus digeste ou plus utile. On est sans cesse bombardés de publicités, et on finit par ne plus y prêter attention. Seulement, si celles-ci étaient contextualisées ou sélectionnées en fonction de nos intérêts, on s&#8217;y intéresserait peut-être. Ce qui me dérange vraiment, c&#8217;est la possibilité qu&#8217;a Google de combiner ce qu&#8217;il sait de notre comportement via le moteur de recherche ou Youtube, et ce qu&#8217;il sait de notre profil via Gmail ou Google Checkout.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Certaines données doivent rester privées et confidentielles: pas question de les utiliser à des fins marketing! Je pense qu&#8217;il faudrait que le géant américain communique plus autour de ce qu&#8217;il fait pour respecter la vie privée des utilisateurs, parce que l&#8217;on ne peut s&#8217;empêcher de remettre en question sa transparence et son honnêteté.</p>
