I am cracking up at this because I have witnessed K'naan's web presence since I discovered his music on a whim in 2007. His digital management team is pretty strong to the point that I was surprised that 1 of my blogs that I wrote about him was featured on their website. See here: &lt;a href="http://knaanmusic.ning.com/profiles/blogs/challenging-all-of-you-to-see" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://knaanmusic.ning.com/profiles/blogs/chall...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like you I shudder at the thought of the site as a NING too. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You know who else has a NING site? Amel Larrieux but it is not being promoted that well. I've done my part (I don't like to say that I am a part of her street team for that is a name I can't stand. I prefer appreciator of an artist work but not street team) but I can't get people to actively engage in it for they all continue to go to various Amel Larrieux sites but her main site is &lt;a href="http://www.blisslife.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.blisslife.com&lt;/a&gt;  Amel Larrieux's NING site: &lt;a href="http://amellarrieux.ning.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://amellarrieux.ning.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One thing though about K'naan is that although he is open to learning about sharing with his fans, I need him to FOLLOW me back on twitter if he wants me to participate in this journey?!?!? I hope that at least he will allow those of us on NING to participate too because I obviously am getting no love from him on twitter. He is not following some of us from NING who have actively participated on his site there. I'm not to sure of the strategy that his team is making in connecting those communities but a few of us on NING do talk on the regular. Waah. If I were not private I know he could read my tweets to him but I rather just engage on his NING page with this for this is how he knows my presence there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's the only drawback on this is connecting those communities from NING, Twitter, facebook, etc. It's a doozy but you do what you have to do!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Great blog as always, Angela! oxx</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">SerenityLife</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:01:11 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
