MuZu was one of the higher-profile brands at the South By Southwest trade show last week.

A Dublin- headquartered start-up, MuZu is an online TV network where bands and labels can build dedicated channels to sell themselves. Muzu's big idea is that the various users can start to generate revenue from their individual channels right away. See the Muzu pitch at www.muzu.tv

You're one lucky star

Congratulations to Wexfordman David O'Connor on his You're A Star win. As a former jockey, he'll recognise the gambles ahead. If he needs advice, he can always contact the You're A Star alumni. After all, hasn't winning the talent search show done wonders for the careers of Mickey Joe Harte, Chris Doran, the McCauls and Lucia Evans? Still, RTÉ will be happywith the text vote revenue. Shame the participants don't see a cut of it.
