POPSRockMe. Online Music Festival
This is Me.dium's Dudeofmusic blog. I had a chance to chat with him, Rose Hill Drive's Jake Sproul and the the CTO of Pandora internet radio, Tom Conrad.

It's hard to explain but it is a surreal experience.

Hmmm sounds a lot like MySpace ... which is free ... and prob has 1000 times more local hotties to stalk than Zivity has. Where do I sign up? Oh that's right I can't (it's in private beta) Pron is free all over the mighty Interweb. There are free social networks, free attention whores, free fine erotica photos and free adult blogs to keep everyone more than satisfied.
