I had the pleasure of interviewing Matt Blumberg – founder of 11 year old, 250 employee Return Path on the subject of everything email. Amazing CEO.
Email is still my go to product. I spend most of my working day wrapped in gmail. It’s amazing to hear the numbers like out of 95 plus trillion messages, maybe just 5 trillion ARE NOT spam.
I think if you look at the ‘real-time’ web and social media, you will see the connection about how you can still build insanely profitable businesses around connection, curating, fiiltering and dissemination.
HERE IS THE INTERVIEW
They are hiring 40-50 people too so hit them up. Tell him the recession sent you.
“Tell him the recession sent you.”
-HA! Classic.

The last company that I worked at, Topspin, has stats to prove that email is still the #1 way to reach people in the direct-to-fan space. Big time musicians and small time ones too should use various communication methods in their arsenal including Facebook and Twitter, but email is not to be dismissed.
