learnalist··on Ask HN: Where/how to start marketing once you've launched?
I know its not quite marketing, being picky, I would like to see a tour ( video is best and quite easy to make these days ) of some of your features.

That a side.

You say you want to target musicians / small businesses. Start with musicians.

* Email owners of some of the smaller digital distribution sites. They can only turn you down. Or they could invite you to be their goto on twitter.

* Find out where musicians post music to help them be discovered or simply because they want to. Talk to them, be passionate about your system.

Im not going to sit and list off websites I suggest you approach as it might look a lot like spamming.

Maybe if you explain some of your current approaches and which are working and which are failing. Then maybe the "old crowd" can give pointers. Or equally learn from your mistakes, success.

On a side note, I would lose the spammers.

learnalist··on Ask HN: I want to build/learn something this weekend - suggestions?
Something not computer related? Read a book? Plant something? If computer related... Play with html 5 canvas, its so en vogue at the moment.
learnalist··on Ask HN: What do you think makes a good teacher?
* Try to be engaging. * Share with the class, not speak down. * Know how to steer the entire class / period / lecture * Confidence * Not re-reading what is in the book / on slides. * Most of the time should be welcoming of questions. * Should be respected by his class. If they are not, I think it makes it harder for them to be a good teacher and for people to see them as a good teacher. Everybody has there own unique role in helping a teacher be good, great or bad.
learnalist··on Ask HN: What do you think of my project?
Your demo, had me a little confused, but based on your oneliner and other peoples comments it makes more sense.

That said...

Great little concept.

* If your majorly concerned about dodgy injections of referrers. Might be worth taking a leaf out of bit.ly and linking a system to filter out urls based on something like http://www.surbl.org/.

* Maybe even include the ability to offer unique things to visitors from wherever they might have just come. A unique article only they can see, whom knows.

* What sort of reporting could / would be good for the site owner?
