Interesting Topspin development…

This is how it’s done.

I guess that thetapeleader and fistfulayen are someplace doing something this week (though I can hardly imagine what that might be), which would explain their slackitude in not posting this themselves.

Note that at the same time that Topspin announces the commercial release of their platform, they announce a partnership with Berklee to offer classes in using said platform. Interesting little idea, don’t you think?

Since tools are only as good as the people using them, Topspin and Berkleemusic.com, the online continuing education division of Berklee College of Music, have formed a partnership to develop online music courses designed to teach artists, managers and labels the effective use of the Topspin platform.

The first, “Marketing your Music with Topspin”, will be released in September 2009, with course enrollment beginning in July 2009.  The course takes an in-depth look at the Topspin marketing, management and content distribution platform, and covers all aspects of the software including fan acquisition and relationship management tools, widget publishing, content management, packaging and promotion.
