Ringtonia Spammed or not?
Ringtonia is either plagued by a spammer (yet every e-mail is from a different person) who posts a request in the comment section, for an «A.R. Rahman» ringtone, hoping to boost ringtone sales, or, these are genuine requests for a very popular musician. I must get five such comments a day:
- plz send me airtel ringtone which composed by A.R.RAHMANA
- pls send me airtel ring tone which is composed by A.R Rahman my mobile no is ...
- plz send me airtel ringtone which composed by A.R.RAHMAN.my cell number ...
Anyway, I looked him up, he's often referred to as "the new millennium composer". First a keyboard player in classic orchestras, he was then part of local Indian rock bands (Roots, Magic and Nemesis Avenue) before he started to compose ad jingles. He also did a couple of film albums.
And just for the record, Ringtonia is not a ringtone provider, only a blog reporting about the ringtone industry.
