Sacramento based Net Musuic Makers aquires My Virtual Band

It was announced today that Net Music Makers has acquired My Virtual Band, which allows bands and musicians to make music online. The combined company plans to launch a social networking website in early 2007.

The website will allow bands and solo artists to create personalized websites, join a band, collaborate, and mix tunes. The new site will also provide a multi-channel internet radio station to showcase original songs.

Jeff Tamelier, President of NMM and former guitarist for Tower of Power and Starship, stated “We formed an alliance with MVB as part of our current Battle of the Bands Contest and were blown away by the number of entries from musicians collaborating on new tunes over the web. It was so successful, we bought them.”

With Google buying video sharing site YouTube and a dozen other video sharing webites popping up everywhere, it may be safe to say that the video revolution is here. Tivo recently announced that it's Tivo service will now allow users to take their video to go on any computer or mobile device, similar to the widely acclaimed Slingbox video broadcasting device.

In an announcement today, Fox News and Yahoo Inc. on Monday announced a co-branded video product, Fox Business Now.

Sunnyvale-based Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) will show nine original two-minute market reports each weekday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on its Yahoo Finance section.

Soon, I hope to join this revolution with our own video segements and interview features of companies in the Sacramento region. It should be exciting.

What are you thoughts on the video explosion?
