**Those that do not will whither.**

**Simplistic?** Perhaps. **Essential?** Absolutely.

I made this prediction on the [MidemNet blog](http://midemnetblog.typepad.com/midemnet%5Fblog/?ref=hypebot.com) and write a bit more about it [there](http://midemnetblog.typepad.com/midemnet%5Fblog/?ref=hypebot.com). Service to the fan will help us guide [our Skyline Music agency clients](http://skylineonline.com/?ref=hypebot.com) in 2010 and be part of determining what gets coverage on Hypebot and what to leave for other media to write about. Direct and indirect service to the fan is also how I'll judge the new companies and concepts that I'll be learning about later this month at [MidemNet](http://www.midem.com/en/midemnet/?ref=hypebot.com) and [MIDEM](http://www.midem.com/en/midem/?ref=hypebot.com) and discuss at [MIDEM+](http://www.midem.com/en/midem-plus/?ref=hypebot.com).
