I read it now, thanks. There's nothing in there that surprises me and I don't disagree with any of it.

I read this earlier, but didn't feel like sharing it. My opinion has now changed:

markup tips · 0

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

imatch or whatever it's called sounds like its great for the artists. I think I currently get 70 cents on the dollar for my iTunes sales. Which means I've made like 70 dollars :)

We are going to be seeing some really creative ways for musicians to make money. I foresee a lot of them giving away music and charging for premiums... whether it be increased sound quality, remixes or personalized content. Artists will be artists and they'll get creative. It's nice to see them moving in to the drivers seat more.
