Hmm.<BR/><BR/>I muse - I wonder if, say, music studios would be interested in creating derivatives based on the celebrity of their artists. The going price for paparazzi photos, mentions per magazines over a week, number of Google hits, things of this nature could go towards formulating a celebrity index. It's a win-win; musicians scramble to increase visibility to play their own stock market, music houses cash in on higher sales from the increasing bankability of their stars, everyone's a winner. Say, anyone out there want to give me angel funding for my idea? Any takers? No?<BR/><BR/>Glad you got the letter all the same, it must be a wonderful sort of letter to find in one's inbox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-32295412243115455032008-03-26T03:11:00.000+00:002008-03-26T03:11:00.000+00:00Ah.
