Here's a top ten list of the best sounds from Star Wars (compiled by some one with an opinion!) from the King of Sound Design Ben Burtt:

The National Retail Federation, a leading trade associations for online retailers, released its 2008 eHoliday Study, which found that despite the rocky economy, slightly more than half of respondents anticipated year-over-year sales growth. Shop.org, the online division of the NRF, said that some 56% of online retailers expected to eke out a gain compared to last year. Not surprisingly, that's down from the 77%… Continue

tom funk Shopping Online, New Customer Acquisition & Switching Barriers (A Christmas Story)

Yesterday I did some Christmas shopping online. And it really drove home a lot of what we marketers already know about the ecommerce space, but perhaps don't personally feel strongly or frequently enough. First, as a longtime ecommerce merchant, I know all the reasons a given online store can't afford to play in some of the bruising new fields of competition. They can't "go there" when it comes to free shipping offers, or unconditional guarantees, or low price points, because they lose money, b… Continue

David Felender Narrowcasting and Content Functionality with iPhone

I am puzzled by the small number of content providers, advertisers/marketers, mobilecasters and so on that are not encoding their information for iPhone compatibility. This is a tremendous market that is not being captured. Why? Is it an additional expense? Too few programmers know how to encode the content? I am not a programmer so forgive me. I have more ideas, input and theories on how to best utilize this platform, but I'll save that for my next employer. Whomever that may be. LOL Any insig… Continue

Godfrey Meyer An Audio Guy's View of the Economy and Job Security

I hope this bailout will make it easier for my business to thrive. All this worry of a recession is making my sales go down recently on beats. I guess artists rather save their money then spend it on produciton music. Makes sense, but i hope the economy bounces back and get WAY better, so that i can continue making music for a living, and not have to go and work a 9-5 at McDonalds with a Degree in Recording. Studios are hard enough to get into, and im sure with the ecomomy the way it is.. Its mo… Continue
