Anyway, yeah she seems very nooby but why all the hate, who cares? If she wants to make music on two ipads and a mixer and whatever other device then good for her.

I'm in charge of strategic/product marketing, affiliate and community programs for the best thing to happen to iPhone users since the SDK. We enable developers to make money, users to get free apps from the iTunes App Store, and brands to connect with users on the most engaging device ever.

I wake up every day with ambitions to change the way we think of mobile and reluctantly fall asleep at night thinking of everything I still want to accomplish.

I work with the smartest people in the world, and my team can move mountains. Especially if the goal seems unattainable and we don't have enough time, money or resources--that's when they really shine. I learn from them every day.

she was never a dj, shes a marketting executive using viral marketting techniques to help apple market the ipad.

she was never into music or dj'ing until magically she decides in line (yeah right) to buy 2 ipads and start dj'ing.

lets also look at her keynote from an advertising and marketting seminar she gave for MARKETTING IPHONE APPS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnBJzq-UT08


as a dj thats really actually into music, and has been. it completely pisses me off to see someone claim to be what i am, and what everyone in this community is, under the guise of simply making money?

think about it this way. how pissed off would you be if, hypothetically speaking, ean was caught on tape saying he "hated dj'ing and just wanted to make money on a website in the post .com bubble burst, web 2.0 marketplace using social networking as a tool to drive advertising and sales revenue in the 21st century?" (hypothetical quotes)

youd be furious

this is the same thing and she deserves and has begged for every single troll post shes recieved thus far.


this has nothing to do with sexism. hell, the biggest reason i didnt give up on digital dj'ing was armyofme from the very forum. my favorite dj right now is also a girl. anna kiss from di.fm. i think her set programming is genius. so much so that when she came out to l.a. i showed up, the day before thanksgiving at a club in the boonies.

the point being. in my life, the 2 most influential people in the dj world to me, are both girls. you can stop the sexism bus right there.

Whoops didn't read the whole thread. Sorry for the outburst, for some reason as of late I've seen so many of these friggin sexist jokes and in my lectures talking so much about sexism which is not in my life at all...I am frigging sick of it.

But ya point made, the video did seem kinda fishy :S.

on a side note, has she been photoshopped on her 'album' cover?

ironic that she's wearing an "Obey" shirt? Probably the biggest, most successful and widespread example of viral marketing ever? I think not.

oh man, every day that passes i hate this chick even more

i was thinking exactly the same :eek:

I'd still tap it...

lmao this is the first forum I've ever joined that a moderator necrobumps an inadvertent troll thread

There's a 20 minute video interview with her on YouTube talking about dj'ing with iPad's if anybody cares enough to look for it. I only got a couple of minutes in before I turned it off.
