Vote for ShoutOmatic.Com – Market Products Using Audio Messages

 

 

 

We review 15+ internet startups per working day. Vote for the one you think will be a killer

<Snippet from Article>

Facebook posts and Twitter status updates have forever changed the way in which products are marketed. And now that we have become accustomed to them, along comes a service like ShoutOmatic to disrupt everything again. This social platform lets businesses record short messages (“shouts”) straight from their desktops and smartphones, and have them instantly delivered to customers. These “shouts” last no longer than 30 seconds, and they can be used to promote just any kind of product.

In actuality “shouts” can also be used by musicians that want to market their latest records, and even by people who wish to say “happy birthday” in a way that is more personalized than a faceless email, or a flat e-card.

Still, the commercial side of ShoutOmatic is undoubtedly the one that will attract the most attention. “Shouts” are particularly suitable for the promotion of products since they all come with their very own QR codes, so that consumers will be given a direct link to what is being pitched, and a readier chance to experience it in real life.

The Outrageous Logistics Behind a U2 Tour…

If you’re used to dragging amps between dive bars, this will seem outrageously colossal. But U2’s just-concluded 360° Tour is the largest ever in Live Nation history (and maybe beyond), and the company just shared a number of ridiculous stats with Digital Music News. For example…

Top-Level…

110 Concerts
30 Countries.
7,100,000 Fans
$736 million in gross revenues.

The Logistics…

92,270 Meals fed to working staff and guests.
29,000 T-shirts given to local stagehands.
9,760 Guitar strings utilized.
400 Tons: weight of the fully loaded claw.
134 Crew members.
126 Truck drivers.
12 Bus drivers.

The Bizarre…

7,100 miles: approximate distance travelled by space station while talking with U2
320,000 fans in Mexico City alone.
53 Gigs attended by a single fan
33 Flemish-speaking crew members.
11 Babies born to crew
7 Astronauts attended
2 Crew weddings
1 Singer in surgery
1 World leader released from house arrest during tour
