This is what students had to research

Dear Mr Ritzel, I choose Russian singer Zemfira for the project at class. Zemfira is famous singer in Russia; she started in 90th and still very popular as a Russian Rock Star. Official website of Zemfira: http://www.zemfira.ru/ -> you can find latest news (done in blog style), concerts timetable, music and video. Website is updated like once a week.

Zemfira on FB Here is what I found in facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4274256&id=783879462#!/pages/Zemfira/113670395310093?ref=ts Here is only her biography and links from fans to her videos and movies.

Zemfira on Twitter http://twitter.com/3emfira Twitter account looks quite weak. There is some news, looks like she did it by herself but nothing much on it. There is a link where you can buy a ticket for her concert.

Zemfira on myspace http://www.myspace.com/zemfiraramazanova myspace account has her (live) music and some videos. There is one more website vkontakte.ru -> which is Russian Facebook. It is very famous social networking site in Russia. I suggest she has an account there and probably she update it on a daily basis. However I can't check it because I don't have an account.

Overall I can say that Zemfira doesn't do a lot on Internet. Maybe she doesn't see any feedback or profits from it. Moreover it is not that much popular in Russia to do everything through Internet, we are still on the level of developing and learning the Internet web2.0 marketing strategy. Kind Regards, Kristina Dolgova

Dear Mr Ritzel, I would like to introduce you a Hong Kong female singer, HOCC Ho Wan Sze. From my point of view, she is good at marketing herself and her products by using Web2.0. She has her own music brand, Goomusic. In the Goomusic official website, there are her latest news, blog and the information of her charity fund. She also has another brand,Hall1C, for selling her side products. Those procducts such as the doll, USB, iphone case, sticker with her logo can be purchased in the Goomusic official website. The link of the Goomusic website: [] She is also active in the social communication tools. In Facebook, she always update her status and photos. Over 50,000 people like her page. [] In HK Yahoo blog, this is her old blog. Before she create her new blog in goomusic website, she shared her the latest news and MV in this blog. She will link the video in Blog TV to this blog. [] In BlogTV, she shares her video with fans. She also use webcam to communicate with fans. [] Her fans will also upload her video in blogtv to youtube. []

In Twitter, she also updates her latest news with her fans [] In youtube, when we type 'HOCC', the results related to her will be shown in 1 minute. Here is her MV with the highest view count [] Here is the forum about her created by her fans. Inside this forum, all her news and videos can be found.

In general he is not a really active internet user. Dear Mr. Ritzel,

My favorite singer is Ho Ngoc Ha. She is a Vietnamese model from the beginning and jump to music industry. I type her name on Google and firstly find her information on Wikipedia. [] Her videos are also posted on YouTube with just a keyword  Ho Ngoc Ha [] On the first page of Google, I also find her face book. Obviously, with her huge number of fans [] Her account on my space: There are many comments and wishes from her fans and other singers. Her music is also listened directly on the site [] Last but not least, her main website is really expressive on me: [] All of her updated and newest news and all announcements for her fan club offline meeting are posted here!

In the limited time, those are all I can find about this singer through the main search engine Google

Best regards,

Laura Thai.



One of my favourite artists is Drake, the Canadian RnB Artist. I am actually personally friends with him because he went to my good friend's school. He is my Facebook friend, []

he posts all his updates on it, new songs and his blog "October's very own" where he shares his thoughts, ideas and update son music: []

He has a new album out, Thank Me Later and is constantly being played on MTV in Switzerland.

He also has a my space page in which he shares songs and upcoming concert dates :http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake

I think everything he is doing is great, he promotes himself on different levels, he has a personal blog which he updates himself, expresses his thoughts and connects with fans. At same time he has facebook on which he shares videos of his concerts, and mysapce is updated by his team with music and concert dates. I have to say he is doing a grea tjob because before he started to make music, he was an actor on a teenage show called Degrassi as a secondary actor. He wrote songs and was joining different rap artists on their tours, in a few years he became internationally famous.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Good Morning, I have chosen to research on Whitney Houston. She is one of my favorite artists but its quite interesting to research here because she been very "out" lately. She has an own webpage probably by her PR-Rep [] On her website she has set up a Forum where fans can leave comments and be an active part of her music, read news on her and update themselves on concert etc. It is a pretty active website which really gets fans involved which is very nice and I haven't seen that often with artists. She is also present on Facebook, again very good for fan contact and updates. [] She also has the ilike link and a Myspace page on her website [] [] Both websites promote her music and recent releases. I did not find a twitter page for Whitney Houston, at least none i had access too. On youtube, you can find most of her songs, she does not have a Youtube Channel just for herself, which might be a good idea since she has enough songs on youtube already. Overall she does a good job promoting herself on the internet, even though she might not have been that successful lately. Some more links: [] [] [] Kind Regards, Pia Ametsbichler
