Sounds like music and networking
January 4, 2009
Wizzit Magazine interviewed me about Blogging and Social Networking. I have to thank Matti Mattila, the reviewer and open networker. If you remember, Matti wrote A musician story. Here is a short excerpt from the magazine article that you can download here in pdf format.
Sounds like music and networking
Matti Mattila: About blogging, you have an active blog, when did you start writing it?
Manuel Marino: I started ManuelMarino.com in October 2007.
What inspired you to first start blogging?
First of all the idea to freely surf and read everything about anything always fascinated me. I think this is why people love to have many blog feeds to read daily.
Next to this idea is the one to freely write interesting articles for the Internet community. Both gives a kind of freedom that I never felt before.
What is your blog about?
ManuelMarino.com is about music, arts, philosophy, poetry, independent artists, humanities and freedom. I invite experts and sincere professionals and artists to write articles.
I believe very much in freedom, honesty, sincerity and I’m able to feel these when I meet people. There are many good persons in the world, but sometimes we are too much obsessed by everyday life to understand this and find this.
How much time do you spend blogging every week?
Probably I spend too much. I love blogging, read other people’s blogs, surf and find interesting news.
What inspires you to write an entry to your blog?
Usually my ideas about news, culture and art, sometimes my intuition. We need more intuition, people tend to forget the importance of it and uses too much their left brain.
How do you spread a word about your blog?
Well, word of mouth, mainly backlinks, more than 30,000 on Yahoo. But a tracker gave me also a global number of 70,000 so I can say between 30,000 and 70,000.
Musician’s Friend, the World’s Largest Music Gear Company, offers over 40,000 products on MusiciansFriend.com.

Nice!
Thank you, Michelle! hey, I’ve seen your website, what can you tell us about 2009 proms?
Glad to discover such an eclectic vision, someone connecting the dots in music, media, art, poetry and culture. Nicely relevant at a time when so much content seems to be fractured to the point of being meaningless
