We’re really internet and we’re really back. A website about things Benjamin , Chuck , Virgil , and various friends & guests think are interesting. Little-to-no specific focus, a bit odd, speling errors, and incredibly culturally relevant.

Diddy 2.0!

Ugh, another technology post?! You’re such a nerd Ben. So yeah, I put Diddy in my ‘Top 8’ as a joke type thing a while back…but then I started getting all of ‘his’ bulletins, then I started watching his webisode/youtube things, then I started checking his tracks, then I started watching his little contents things…etc. Needless to say his ploy to grab the internet kids is working quite well – he’s gotten my attention more than a few times. Thing is, he hasn’t been doing the myspace thing for that long – but he already has 4.1 million page views. All that bandwidth, all the streaming videos, all the streaming music, all the promotion, all the exposure, etc. – FOR FREE. Seriously. He has done little to nothing different than your average high school garage band, he just happened to be famous before the fact. Without all this, I honestly wouldn’t have checked for this album – but now I’m actually waiting for its release…have I been brainwashed?! Who knew?!!? A great illustration of why Diddy continues to be successful – adapt to your market!!! Honestly, hats-off to our generation’s Frank Sinatra – Mr. Diddy. Virgil here, co-signing on this album, just listened to it 2x in a row…for real…Diddy pushed the artistic envelope and I am riding the ‘New Wave’ vibe, reminds me of Kelis - Wanderland, take that…take that
