BLINK 182 ON GOOGLE+

This is Tom and Mark from blink 182, doing a live interview, that can be streamed on to anyone's computer. They have used Google+ to stream the interview, but have advertised the video via there Facebook.

SOCIAL MEDIA (MODLIFE)

This is Tom Delonge using Modlife to talk to fans via a webcam chat. At the time it would have been live, and  you can write Tom messages, that he will read and answer. This is how he keeps in contact with his fans.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND BAND MEMBERS

All 3 members of 'Blink 182' are keen users of social media and make an effort to contact there fans.

I use a site called 'Tumblr' which is a blogging site in which I follow Mark Hoppus, the bassist for blink. On Marks blog you can ask him questions, which he is keen to answer.

This is a screen print of when I spoke to Mark:

I asked him why Tom (the guitarist) kept wearing a Beanie, and Mark replied, 'No idea. he's a goth pizza chef?' So via Tumblr I have had direct contact with the band.

I also follow the band on Facebook, and get notifications of any new information on my facebook news feed.

Tom Delonge, the guitarist for blink 182, is also in the band 'Angels and Airwaves' For this he created a website called Modlife. Paying £7 a month for an account, Modlife offers the opportunity to talk to the band on a live webcam, and VIP tickets to meet the band at concerts. You can also customise your own Modlife page, and talk to other users who are fans of the band. It is almost like a social media site for all Angels and Airwaves fans. Tom also works on his own pieces of art work and posts them to members of the site.

Mark Hoppus is also a keen member of 'Google+' where he is able to stream live videos to anyone, and allow anyone to talk to him.
