Hello x2 Fri, Mar 11, 2011

My name is Kirk. I’m the brand-spanking new Community Manager at exfm. That makes me one of the luckiest people out there because exfm is killer. And it’s just getting started.

What began as a Google Chrome experiment has blossomed into what I (and a lot of others) feel is the coolest way to discover, rediscover, and experience great music and fans of music on the web. We think the best way.

I came across exfm during its beta testing stage via a seriously awesome group of people posting tunes on Tumblr (we love Tumblr, too). From there I watched the platform expand to where it is today (version 2.0). It’s come a long way in a short time. It’s going to get even better. I can’t state how humbled and honored I am to be a small part of this amazing team. Dan, Charles, Marshall, and crew have built something really special here. You can just feel it.

Yet, we also know that a great platform is nothing without a great community of users. Hence, this introduction. I’m really looking forward to getting to know the many, wonderful exfm users. Listening to their feedback. Helping when they need assistance. And, of course, listening to great music together along the way. I’m not alone in this regard either. The team has also added the super talented music blogger Jessica Page to the community mix. She’s smart, funny, cool, and knows about a 1,000% more about what’s happening right now in music than me (and I know a decent amount). You’ll see us tag-teaming here on the blog and elsewhere. I’m super psyched to be working alongside Jessica. (Be sure to check out her intro blog post, too.)

As for me, I can’t promise I’ll be perfect along the way or know every single answer off the top of my head. I won’t. Not by a long shot. In fact, I’ve got some serious beefing up to do in the technical department. But, I can assure you that I’m going to bust my ass every single day and do the absolute best I can to make exfm an even better experience for our users.

PS: I’ll be at SXSW starting Saturday so keep an eye out for exfm. We’ll have great swag and some cool demos of new things coming soon. Looking forward to experiencing great music on a great platform with all of you.

Music FTW!
