Bill Erickson
New Media Entrepreneur

Who am I?

I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.

I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.

I'm also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.

You can also find me on flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.

Simplify Media - Share your iTunes anywhere

One of the best features of iTunes is the Shared Music - anyone on your local network can listen to other music on the network. A company called Simplify Media helps you expand that network to the entire Internet.

www.simplifymedia.com

You download the application, set up a username and password, and then invite your friends. When they add you as a friend, your music shows up under their Shared Music, and theirs under yours. You can also log in using your username on a different computer, giving you access to your music somewhere else (I’m at work right now listening to the music at my house).

It’s free, but has a little popup amazon ad that lets you buy the music you’re listening to (you can just minimize this to the dock). Also, playlists don’t show up under shared music, just a list of all your music.

Check it out and add me as a friend. My screenname is billerickson.
