We at iBloks are about sharing ideas, art, music, movies and fun. We’re about making people smile by allowing them to create beautiful things and share them with their friends and family. It is because of this deep commitment to sharing that we have made a donation of $1000 to the UN foundation. This money will help the poorest and neediest in the world to fight Aids, TB, Malaria and hunger. With the holiday season upon us it is important that we reach out to help those who are less fortunate than we are.

This is a problem that affects all of us, and it won’t go away on its own. We urge you to please open your hearts this holiday and make a difference.

Best holiday wishes from the iBloks family!

At least that is what we aspire to become. At iBloks, we are an all-in-one media sharing site where you can instantly create slideshows, 3D videos, etc using your photos, video, and music. Very interesting stuff and we are also launching our band program where we offer an ecommerce platform for you as an artist to sell your music via iBloks and also use our free technology to creatively promote your music in many different forms. We are in the beginning stages of the launch and traffic is growing everyday with the help of our marketing efforts and good press. We are pumped and want to get more bands on board. Email us at artist@ibloks.com and we will provide you with more info and get you on board with this. Also check out these examples:

Have you SHA(RED) Today?



Thanksgiving is over and we’re now officially done with stuffing ourselves like a bunch of turkeys. Now what? Of course there’s more shopping to be done, holiday festivities to plan and more travel to had…However, when in the course of spreading the cheer of the holiday season, be it Kwanza, Hanukah, Christmas or celebration of the winter solstice, why not take a few extra moments out to give the gift of Red?



You know the (Product) RED campaign, launched by U2s well-known, rocker-front-man-philanthropist Bono, right? Buy some special “Red” product that, say, the GAP is selling and a portion of those proceeds go to support the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria in Africa. iBloks has also headed the call of the Red, except you pay nothing to participate and feel good about being a good humanitarian. The only thing it will cost you is a little time.



Your iBloks team created an official “SHA(RED) iBlok for you to pass along. Send the SHA(RED) iBlok to your friends and family as often as you can to be entered into our drawing. The more you share, the more chances you will have to win. The winner will receive $1,000 dollars for their holiday shopping and iBloks will donate $1,000 to the (Product) RED / United Nations Global Fund and we all feel good about doing our part to help others less fortunate than ourselves, sharing that “Red” feeling this holiday season.



Sharing should always be this easy! What are you waiting for? The contest ends on December 15th at midnight and there’s nothing more to read here today, so go to http://www.ibloks.com/red/ and let’s get with the holiday sharing today!

The artists are coming! That’s right. We’re giving you the inside 411 on the iBloks Artist Program, which gives artists the opportunity to sell and promote their own songs and create instant music videos for free! Take that earplug out of you ear. You heard right. The announcement is officially being made on Monday, November 20th, but Matt and Scarlet have already begun reaching out and lining up bands, artists and DJs to entice them to join the iBloks artists’ fold. You’ll be hearing from Matt and Scarlet in a bit, but know that, to date, bands have been receptive to the idea of additional revenue streams and a new method of distribution for their musical creations.

And why wouldn’t they? Unlike other sites out there that “help” independent artists, we actually do feel more like partners because not only do provide them with the tools they need to mix, share and play with all of their digital goodies in a new and exciting way, but we also offer artists a 50/50 revenue split all for FREE. Artists make money from their music that’s sold and distributed through the iBloks Shop. Also, we NEVER ask artists to give up the rights to their intellectual property - their music.

Enough from me…I promised you’d hear from Scarlet and Matt, so without further blathering on my part, take it away!

Scarlet:
Greetings from the iBloks Artist Program! My name is Scarlet and I am one of the artist evangelists for iBloks. I am very excited to be promoting such a creative and empowering tool that bands can use on a daily basis. As a musician myself, I know that a big part of being in a band is the constant self-promotion to set up that next show and sell merchandise in order to share your music with your friends, fans, and stalkers.

iBloks is just what the doctor ordered. It’s got all the tools that anyone band or musician can use. Bands are able to feature what ever they want with the ability of uploading music, pictures and video to showcase themselves to other bands and create instant music videos or EPK’s (electronic press kits) to email. It’s a chance to grow your own fan base, make some money, and at the end of the day you are in full control of everything.

And be sure to check out the MusicMixer that allows you to create, edit, remix your songs on your own. It’s the BOMB! Also, the iBloks crew is way cool and here to help you out with questions you can always call (415.546.2140) or email me with questions (scarlet@ibloks.com), comments, or to get your band dialed in to iBloks. iBloks is ready to rock the house and make your life a whole lot easier. Until next time! -Scarlet

Matt:
Hi, I’m Matt, the other half of the dynamic duo working with bands for the iBloks Artist Program. There’s no cost to sign up and participate in our program. iBloks empowers you to instantly create your own music videos for free. Grow your fan base, make some money & maintain the rights to your creations. You can sell or give your content away promotionally - it is entirely up to you!

You control your work and can share it via email, IM, cell phone, blogs, PSPs, video iPods, place your work on your MySpace page, band website and sell your work though the iBloks shop. Through the iBloks Artist Program, artists have access to a 3D virtual stage and complete solution to showcase and offer music to their fans. In short, iBloks gives bands and artists the tools and space to professionally promote and sell work in secure, rights managed environment at zero cost to artists.

Our mission at iBloks is to be your #1 artist-friendly resource! We offer a free business commerce platform for marketing, distribution, sales, and recognition of your work where the world is your audience!

Come check us out online at www.ibloks.com. I’m happy to speak with you further and answer any questions you may have so feel free to contact me at 415.546.2140 or email me at mlehman@ibloks.com - Cheers, Matt.

It’s November and that means that the holidays are just around the corner. Over the next few weeks, Americans will crank up he heat on searching for the "perfect" holiday greeting cards that will sit idly on mantles for a few weeks at the most, only to be discarded with turkey wings, left-overs, and broken gifts!

I don’t know about you, but I’m not putting my signature on such a doomed tablet. No! This year I will reach out to my friends and family in a completely new and thrilling way… and if I can’t get Santa, Hanukkah Harry and Mr. Hankey to deliver a singing telegram to show up nude on a horse, I will do the next best thing (and it’s a close second). Send them a holiday iBlok video card!

What could be better than zapping professionally crafted 3D movies that you can download and personalize just for those certain people in your life? For too long we have roamed and combed department stores and online sites looking for the cards that best match our personality in both artwork as well as the message inside, only to be disappointed more often than not.

Folks, it doesn’t get much easier than this! Did I mention that you can use the content you already have? That’s right…all the songs, all the pictures all the videos from the ghosts of holidays past and present. If you’re low on time, we’re got you covered there as well as we are into the season of sharing and caring, because we are working on a batch of a ready-made batch of holiday iBlok video cards that are ripe for the picking. Look at the ghost of holiday greetings of the future. Visit our homepage (www.ibloks.com) in the coming week to check out these hybrids of modern art and technology. There’s one to suit every taste. No sense of humor? No problem, we got you covered. Feel like going the route of more of a traditional holiday greeting? Check us out. Feeling a little edgy this Thanksgiving? Bring it. We’ve got what you’re looking for!

Did I also mention that you can create and send all of your holiday iBlok video cards to the people who matter most for FREE? What’s better than free this time of year? Gobble, gobble...
