Tech Savvy Young Musicians Connect with “Blackberry” in One Pocket, and Steelpan Drum Sticks in the Other

Steelpan Music Organization Establishes Steelpan Network on Ning

In an era where falling out of touch with even basic new technologies can render you obsolete in a flash, the steelpan music community is in step with, and at the forefront of, social networking technologies.  Many players, fans and groups in the steelpan music arena have already ‘signed on.’

It is no secret that the masterful use of new, and ever-evolving internet tools and technology played a critical role in the successful campaign of United States President Barack Obama.  A vital component of this new technology strategy was the implementation by the Obama campaign team, of the online social network Facebook.  Similarly, the steelpan music cultural and educational organization, When Steel Talks/PanOnTheNet.com, has been utilizing the power and advantages of similar technologies like Ning to disseminate information, showcase and bring the steelband music community it serves globally together on the internet. 

When Steel Talks has established a steelband music neighborhood on Ning located at  http://whensteeltalks.ning.com.   The When Steel Talks network on Ning is focused on providing its members an easy means to connect, interact,  blog, share information, construct group web sites and post media such as video and photos.

The robust www.panonthenet.com website is a global multimedia cyber-net resource center facilitating immediate access to the latest and most accurate historical data, along with text, articles, photos, music, audio and video media that are second to none.  The steelpan “information clearing house” is extremely popular with educational institutions, news outlets, research entities, and young people of all ages who are internet savvy.  When Steel Talks on the Ning network is ideally suited to interface seamlessly with the wealth of information and rich media content present on the Panonthenet.com website.

The When Steel Talks (WST) organization/brand is well known and established throughout the world for its promotion of all matters relating to the steelpan instrument globally, particularly through utilizing emerging and cutting-edge technologies.  In keeping with its mandate to bring credible information, education material and live entertainment to the masses - wherever they may be, and in whatever format needed through the net - WST is also maintaining a high profile on the popular social network Facebook.

The WST network on Ning allows fans, educators, players and enthusiasts of the steelpan instrument and the music, the  ability to connect and share info with each other from all over the world.  Facebook is a free-access, social networking website that allows users to join its network based on various organizational categories - by city, workplace, school, and region - to connect and interact with other people.  Facebook is extremely popular with young people in general, such as high school and college communities.  Users can also connect with friends, keeping them in easy communication with each other.

With the understanding that technology impacts on every aspect of our lives - particularly the young - WST has made sure that there is a seamless interface between Facebook and their broad range of digital interactive media on the rich media-laden PanOnTheNet.com website.

Elements of rich media are increasingly used in education, in areas ranging from distance learning to web-based teaching and instructional tools.  When Steel Talks sees this move as a natural progression in its growth and in increasing its market share of people globally who access the PanOnTheNet.com site for  steelpan music information.

People are already part of the When Steel Talks Group on the Facebook network, but are now additionally excited about meeting and greeting even more new steelpan friends on the Ning network located at  http://whensteeltalks.ning.com.
