<p>extracted/adapted from design page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;media vector&#039;&#039;&#039; is any place where you might hear, or hear about, music:<br /> * Radio (broadcast or internet)<br /> * TV (likewise)<br /> * YouTube<br /> * in-store music<br /> * listening stations at larger music retail stores (or streamed samples in online stores)<br /> * loaned CDs, MP3s, mix tapes and CD-Rs<br /> * music reviews in newspapers and magazines<br /> * the Billboard charts (Hot 100 etc.)<br /> * posters and ads for local bands, for shows, or for the latest release from a larger act<br /> * recommendations from friends<br /> ==Why &quot;Vector&quot;?==<br /> I thought about calling them &quot;media channels&quot; instead of &quot;media vectors&quot;, but the word &quot;channels&quot; has become overused in this context and I&#039;d rather start with a word that didn&#039;t have a set of not-quite-right associations already attached.<br /> <br /> Think of &quot;vector&quot; in the medical sense &amp;ndash; a means by which something is spread through a population.</div>
