Startup Offers New Way for Music Fans to Reach Out to Artists, and Musicians to Respond

f3_chrisbrown.jpg With Web sites, blogs, social networks and text-messaging services, musicians have plenty of ways to connect with fans. Saying Now is adding to the mix an older form of communication -- voice messages.

SayNow's service, slated to formally launch next month, lets celebrities receive voice messages and send ones en masse to those who have subscribed to be a part of their fan community. Each celebrity gets a phone number that fans can call to either record a message or listen to one left by the artist.

The service is free; SayNow is relying on advertising for revenue.
