Ms. Rachel isn’t a household name, but if you spend a lot of time with toddlers, she might as well be a rockstar.
Ms. Rachel – a music teacher named Rachel Accurso – decided to use her platform for good.
And for a full-time content creator and graduate student in early childhood education, that’s not much time to record 500 personalized videos.
However, Cameo was aware of Ms. Rachel’s highly popular fundraiser, since Cameo posted about it on X.
Given that Ms Rachel intended to fulfill her Cameo requests, it’s unclear why Cameo didn’t grant her additional time to do so in the first place, rather than refunding buyers.
Spotify’s live audio app is no longer active, but the company has been using the tech to connect fans and artists better with the “Listening Party” feature.
A Listening Party is listed under the events section of an artist’s profile.
Spotify said that while typically top fans of a band receive a specific invitation, any Spotify Premium user can join the Listening Party through the listing.
Plus, each listening party has a live chat room during the event.
Now it is trying to bring parts of group listening and live audio interactions together with the Listening Party feature.
NBCUniversal’s Peacock will let you watch four live streams at once for 2024 Paris OlympicsToday, during NBCUniversal’s annual technology conference, One24, the company revealed a slew of features coming to its streaming service Peacock ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics in July.
Since up to 40 Olympic events will be happening simultaneously, the unique offering helps viewers determine which four events are the most important.
Peacock’s multiview feature is not only available on the web, but also on smart TVs, streaming devices, and tablets.
The feature lets fans watch highlights of a game to quickly catch up without having to exit out of the main screen.
The company noted that multiview and Live Actions will extend to other live sporting events after the Olympics.
SeatGeek’s latest product release, which it calls “Next Fan Up,” gives sports and music fans access to tools used by venues, organizations, and licensed sellers alike.
The feature gives you three selling options to choose from—sell faster at a lower price, sell slower at a higher price or sell at a more balanced pace and rate.
However, SeatGeek will still recommend the best price in a separate box below.
Regardless, resellers are nowhere near as bad as sleazy scalpers who drastically overprice tickets for desperate fans to cough up their hard-earned cash.
Now fans can quickly list, price and sell their tickets for another fan to enjoy.”

CNDO (pronounced “condo”) enables content creators to create private social rooms for their followers to engage in a community-wide group chat, participate in challenges and get exclusive updates from their favorite influencers.
For instance, creators can encourage their followers to build healthy fitness habits and share daily updates about their workouts with each other.
The company also hopes the challenges incentivize users to keep coming back to the app, allowing for a healthy app retention rate.
However, the company says creators must pitch their “concept strategy,” and CNDO determines whether they are a right fit for the platform.
Schaecker developed CNDO with his two co-founders, Kian Seifert and Jordi Walder, who studied business and data science, respectively.
Sports fans most often take in their favorite game by watching it on TV or from the venue itself, but those with blind and low vision generally must rely on the announcer or a radio broadcast.
OneCourt aims to augment their experience with a lap-top miniature field that lets someone feel the position of the players and ball in near real time.
There’s nothing wrong with the radio broadcast, but it’s often delayed by 10 to 30 seconds, and neither it nor live announcers provide the spatial detail that sighted fans are treated to.
Fortunately, many major league sports broadcast the exact, real-time locations of the players and ball along with video and audio.
The OneCourt team takes this information and transmits it to a haptic display with a touchable cover imitating the pitch or field lines.
From a fan perspective, although there are plenty of ways to follow and connect with artists, these online interactions can be minimal.
Artists will soon also be able to sell new exclusive and limited-edition digital collectibles/NFTs like poster bundles and trading cards.
Medallion is free for artists to use but takes a percentage of all sales on the platform, yet didn’t disclose how much.
Additionally, Medallion is a white-label platform, meaning artists can customize their digital space with their own color theme, background and more.
Artists communicate with fans through social media posts, while fans can reply in the comments.
