Tweet for a Track Viral Promotion
Tweet For A Track lets you easily trade a mp3 for a tweet from your fans. And best of all, it’s free!
It works like this:
1. You upload an MP3 and post a tweet with a link to download the free song.
2. To get the free MP3, your followers re-tweet and are emailed a download link.
3. As their followers see their tweets, more tweets are re-posted and the MP3 is spread virally.
Sounds like a pretty neat idea. Let me know if any of you have tried it.

Get your music on Rock Band
Soon, you will be able to use tools provided by video game Rock Band to upload your music to the game’s community to be played by anyone. Approved tracks will go into the Rock Band store and on XBox’s Live Marketplace. For every purchase and download, you can receive a cut.
This is revolutionary! I’d like to see if any of you actually try it out.
