Hey Gang, Whiteboard Friday time again and, since Rand is once again out of town, I've enlisted yet another Mozzer to take his place.

How the Internet is Changing Consumer Music Purchasing
When I'm not furiously writing PHP here at SEOmoz, I built and now maintain the online music store TuneShout.com.
