Fake Trent Reznor Here To Fill The Twitter Void

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

3 Comments

The world felt a great loss when Nine Inch Nails’ mastermind Trent Reznor quit the Twitter for good (albeit not cold turkey). Thankfully, many have stepped in his shoes to console the microblogging wold, including “Ternt Reznor,” who is so mystical that that “a one line bio could not possibly contain the greatness that is [...]

Trent Reznor Finally Kicks That Pesky Twitter Addiction

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

5 Comments

We chastised Trent Reznor earlier this month for still using his Twitter account despite proclamations of taking his social networking ball and going home because of all the Web 2.0 meanies. Well, Trent finally manned up and @trent_reznor is no more. I guess he just needed a few weeks to get around to it. You [...]

Today’s Trent Reznor rant was brought on by a post he made on Twitter…wait, what? Didn’t he quit Twitter like a month ago in dramatic fashion? Oh savior of online marketing, how can we trust anything you say now? Our world is completely upside down. Hold me.

Here’s a new promotional idea: Municipal Waste have started a Twitter page in anticipation of their upcoming album, Massive Aggressive, where they are giving a $500 cash prize to the winner of a summer-long trivia game. The punny tie-in is with the album’s lead track, “Wrong Answer”, which the page is also using as a [...]

Want some random statistics about the interwebs that are probably too out of context to mean anything? Cool: research from the NPD Group says active Twitter users buy 77% more digital music downloads on average than non-users. The study says 34% of all Twitter users have bought digital music in the last three months, compared [...]

Trent Reznor Quits Web 2.0, Calls It An Ugly Hate Machine

Thursday, June 11, 2009

2 Comments

Compared to many other music industry veterans, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor just gets it when it comes to new media. He gave up (see what we did there?) on major labels, instead distributing his last album, The Slip, via the Internet. And the leadup to his studio album before that, Year Zero, was an elaborate [...]

This decision follows the most recent fake twitter incident and lawsuit involving St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa. According to Twitter’s blog post, they’re not necessarily going to be heavy handed with [...]
