05:11 We ask Jay about what music communities online mean to him, and also how he is trying to distinguish himself from being just "the music guy". He throws in references from "back in the day" when he used CompuServe and dial-up BBSs, not to mention MySpace, Uncle Seth, MP3.com, the McFlies, McFlies on Facebook, and the ever-popular Breakfast Television.
08:43 Jay gives us his take on personal brands.
10:31 Eden wraps up the interview, but Jay gets in the last word.
11:00 Connie gives an update about her Twitter account, and the concern she still has. She recommends if you are on LinkedIn to back up your contacts.
12:14 Eden asks what is the optimum number of tools we should use to build a community: one tool, or more than one tool? Community Divas have set up a both a Facebook page and a FriendFeed room, and have discovered two distinct groups gravitating toward each. How can we bring the two together in discussion?  Connie mentions the library industry call-in podcast show Uncontrolled Vocabulary.
16:05 Where would you like to see Community Divas, and what is the optimal number of places for a community on the Web?

Our cool theme music “Get Out of My Face” is by Jay's band Uncle Seth and is from the Podsafe Music Network. We thank Jay Moonah for all his help in getting us started!
