Great Industry/ Tech Websites

Tool Thursday with Jed Hackett.

O.K. , my column will be a little different this week. A sort of interactive Tool Thursday. I think it might be really helpful if all three you who read this column, and that includes my mom, let us know of websites that have been helpful with keeping you up to speed with the industry. They could be tech sites, new music sites, industry business sites, etc. I am always amazed at the seemingly endless array of new sites that pop up each day and I’m sure I don’t know half of them. This may help a lot of us get better plugged in. I’ll start with a few and let you go from there.

The Maybe Not So Obvious-

(Need I say more)

http://www.wired.com/
(This site often has industry articles if they have a tech/ web component

http://www.engadget.com/
(for the gadget geek in you)

http://gizmodo.com/
(for the gadget geek in you)

http://www.nashvillemusicpros.com/
(This relatively new site is the most useful to those in the Nashville area, but open to people in the industry world-wide)


O.K., now it’s your turn.

See you next time,
Jed
