Mobile iCast: connect with your fans anytime, anywhere from your phone
In our last issue, we went over all the cool things GB members can do to connect with fans on their iLike Artist Dashboard. If you haven’t checked it out yet, take the tour and get in on the action.
In this issue, we’d like to highlight what we think is one of the coolest features in the dashboard so far: Mobile iCast. Our multimedia blogging tool has been around for a while (formerly known as Gcast) but now we have added the ability to post video, audio, photos or text sent directly from your mobile phone. There’s no set up required, just click on the iCast tab in your dashboard and you will see a special e-mail address that is set up to receive your posts. Of course, you can still log in to your dashboard and post an iCast from your computer.
On the road, in the studio… Mobile iCast is a powerful new tool for artists because it turns your camera phone into a personal broadcasting system, letting you communicate with your fans anytime, anywhere. Check it out now!
