The fact that you were willing to respond on this blog shows that you all understand public relations/marketing. I'm sure many LDS businesspeople wouldn't even bother. I appreciate the update. Good luck working out the technical issues. ~~Wm  <A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><a HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fmotleyvision.blogspot.com%2F2004%2F10%2Fmarketing-21st-century-technology-18th.html%23c109902065428204051" TITLE="motleyvision at gmail dot com" rel="nofollow">William Morris</A> Thanks, Rich.

The harsh criticism for not having the site up yet. I do apologize. As the owner of Latter Day Tunes, I have to agree the site should have been up before the press release. We were interviewed a short time ago by several papers in Utah because of re-locating our main company Family Flix to Provo from Arizona. If your not familiar with www.familyflix.com, we are the premiere provider of movies that are edited for content. During our interview, we were discussing future projects and said we were getting close to launching Latter Day Tunes and another site for a broader audience (SafeMP3.com) I guess an "Almost Ready" quote turned into "Already launched"!! Unfortunately, site development for the ringtones has been a little difficult and we had to build a whole new platform to support it. We did have a homepage for visitors to sign up to be notified. For some reason it was taken down and should be placed back up by tomorrow. So, that's the scoop. if you have any other questions about the site, please feel free to post and I will get back to you. We hope to launch within a week or two.

Is there really enough of an LDS artist base to make something like this work? As far as I remember, there aren't that many artists that are purely LDS, are they going to include more than just the standard stuff, and get bands that may be made up of LDS people, but not really singing about LDS topics? Maybe that way it would work. I agree with you about the website though, it makes me wonder sometimes why people jump the gun on things like this.   <A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><a HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fagertsch.blogspot.com" TITLE="" rel="nofollow">Aimee Roo</A> Am I the only one that thinks this is a little strange?

I was kinda excited about this venture when I read about it, then went to the site, and felt let down. I hope it works, but I'll believe it when I see it. I wish LDS artists would venture onto iTunes, since now basically anyone can get on through a simple application process.   <A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A><a HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dallasrobbins.com" TITLE="cloudhill at yahoo dot com" rel="nofollow">Dallas Robbins</A> I agree with your assessment.
