Now, I’m not much of a webmaster, for this I owe my entire online library to my older brother Milan. He keeps this online “ship” a-floating.
In the wake of the ‘Lonely Evening’ video, and the others to soon follow, I have observed that my favourite part of having a website online, is the reaction that follows the release of an official video. Whether the reviews are positive or negative, it is the most exciting time for Papa Fly Productions. I want to thank the loyal and honest posters ( Milan, Tristan, B, R.K., Kwak in general) who keep the interactivity of this website alive.
Which is what I am here to talk about.
As an example, the Strokes (my favourite band) have completed their tour, and going on a four year break. Instead of cutting themselves off completely, they have included a new feature on their glorious new website. It is called ASK ME ANYTHING ( also the name of their song on the First Impressions of Earth album) and fans are able to email questions, which every member of the band will eventually answer. I like the idea that, even though they are not going to create any new material for a long period of time, they still wish to remain interactive with their fans.
I emailed the question, “what is your favourite song to play live?” I truly am curious.
I want to encourage interaction of this site. This does not a message board, because that is not original. So I am guessing, I am asking you guys what do you think the site could use?
Do you have a creative way to have people communicate on a website? It is an intriguing idea, and I am not going to half ass it. I appreciate every post that is posted (except the breast enlargement ones, flattering as it seems) and I only want to keep this online community alive.
At least between, the videos. Any ideas? Please post.
