Thanks for posting this! A bunch of folks have been asking the question that Refe asked, about Reznor's "retirement" from social media. I think that story is being overblown, first of all. I believe he's really only cutting back on Twitter usage, and if I had to guess, I'd say he'll be back eventually. But most of what he did didn't rely directly on social networking software. I think people are jumping too far into believing that "connecting with fans" means "using Twitter/Facebook/whatever." It doesn't necessarily need to be that way. For many up and coming artists, I'm sure such a platform helps, but with an established artist like Reznor, he has many other ways to connect with fans, and can choose which ones make the most sense. Unfortunately, Twitter may have brought out too many of the "haters" and that's a waste of any one's time. Either way, thanks for posting the video. Glad you enjoyed it! Mike Hi.

He reaffirmed my feelings about sales in general. It is the personal connetions we make that are most meaningful to people. It doesn't really amtter what you are trying to sell. If the buyer feels he has made a personal connection and fells you actually care about him - he will support you. Great presentation. He reaffirmed my feelings about sales in general.

I wonder how this presentation would sound now that Trent Reznor has very publically <a href="http://www.creativedeconstruction.com/2009/06/trent-reznor-quits-twitter-how-real-is-too-real-in-social-media" rel="nofollow">abandoned social media.</a> The direct fan relationship is a powerful thing - but it isn't without its risks! I think the most important thing is to have clear plan before beginning to spread your personal brand around the net.
