Cool TechDirt Article featuring Me

Check out this awesome article on the future of the music business from Techdirt. Here’s an excerpt:

Matthew Ebel is a singer in Boston who started building a fanbase by playing live and actively participating in social networks and other sites…Ebel has discovered that he’s making enough so that music is his full-time job…Connecting with fans and giving them a real reason to buy has made it so that he can have career as a musician.

I especially like the focus on connecting with you guys. Sure, I jumped onto Podcasting with both feet, started a new service over at Matthew Ebel dot net, and I play shows via UStream, but the technology is totally just a means to stay in contact with you. That’s what’s important.
