20 Seconds Of Fame And One Hit Wonder’s On An iPhone App
20 Seconds Of Fame And One Hit Wonder’s On An iPhone App
Re-post from: http://frankiemarketing.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/20-seconds-of-fame-and-one-hit-wonder%E2%80%99s-on-an-iphone-app/
My friends and I always wanted to be rock stars. The adoring crowds, screaming fans, groupies. Heck, we would have settled for a one-hit wonder and a small following. We’d be jumping up and down doing cartwheels at something resembling the radio airplay of any Ricky Martin song. But us, no…not us… we’d be as cool as P.O.D.
The problem is… I can’t play guitar, nor any instrument for that matter. Well, I might be able to play a few bar chords and finger pick a few notes. But for my friends and me, our rock band dreams are just that….dreams. I would imagine for many of us that is the case. Yet, fame and one hit wonders are still possible.
While helping out with the Riff Raters, iPhone app. I’ve contemplated recording my 20 second tweet of fame, if only to see what kind of poor ratings I would get. Maybe it would motivate me to actually be patient and learn how to play. If I got good, I could be my own rock star and have fans too. I might not hear my new fans screaming up on my milk crate for a concert stage. Groupies might not be knocking on my door.
Yet, for other riffers on the Riff Raters app who actually have talent as opposed to myself, that dream is entirely possible. With YouTube, Facebook and other social media tools, the next rock star could be found on the Riff Raters iPhone app. And when that happens, I will live my rock star dreams vicariously through him or her.
Riff Raters is an iPhone app that lets musicians record and share their riffs with the world. Listeners rate and comment on the music they hear, helping to determine which riffs make the Top 25. Find Riff Raters in the App Store for $1.99.
