Hey dude,

I wouldn't consider myself a spammer... I'm promoting a free service for musicians that would provide them with great social media promotion tools. I am not an automated bot. We here at Thrillcall love many varieties of music and admire and respect artists. Tomorrow I'm doing a interview with a local LA electro-pop duo Capital Cities playing at Cafe du Nord in SF. I'm also writing about the epic weekend I had at Sierra Nevada World Music Festival up in Mendo... damn, it was a blast, didn't want to come beck to the city, hehe. Anyway, I do understand the importance of keeping spam off of blogs, but what I'm offering does hold a lot of value for your users.

Regards,

Vivek

Hey Vivek,

Thanks for sharing the information about that service. Personally, I'm not into social media - I have severe dislikes for Hyves and Facebook, I don't give a rat's ass about Twitter, and I don't care or know about anything else out there - but I do understand your marketing campaign of posting to any forum with a target audience anywhere close to your service. I've checked your site and it seems "useful" to those who do use the social media. However, here on BandAMP, the community enjoys a very close and personal approach to one another, and commercial intrusion is by default considered "spam" no matter how legit or valid or useful (or whatever to describe it) the advertisement may be.

Unfortunately your mail was posted in the wrong sub-forum - the best place for this kind of ad is News and Events. But I'm sure a moderator will fix this problem.

Cheers and so long.

Hehe, it's all good Connor, I can see how it could be initially perceived as spam, but we're just really into help DIY artists, labels, and venues to help them promote their shows and trying to get our free service out there for whoever would like to use it.

Thanks,

Vivek
