The Next Big Sound

I'm almost positive nobody reads this blog. However, i'm going to write this article as if somebody cares.

As you can tell by the title, this article is about the Next Big Sound. Next big sound offers detailed analytics across social media for musicians. You may or may not know, that I have been working very hard for company called Music Xray. It is music xray's goal to connect the movers and shakers in the industry with the artists that want to move and shake ( Yes drugs are involved sometimes )

Anyways next big sound has a really great api that up until a couple of days ago did not have a ruby. I've decided to change that by introducing a new rubygem into the gemcutter ecosystem. Installation is a breeze and it could not be easier to use in your Rails On Rails application. To get started using this gem in your rails project do the following.

Install and configure environment

  1. gem install next-big-sound
  2. gem install simplexml

open up config/environment.rb add the following line

  1. ...
  2. config.gem "next-big-sound"
  3. ...

This will allow you to create and use the gem. For usage check out the README on github

Hope this helps. Cheers.
