Hello, Marko?

[UPDATED 3:20 P.M.] Buzzmaster Mark Montgomery (left), co-founder of Echomusic LLC, now d/b/a simply 'echo', said earlier this week he's leaving the company, which is now a Ticketmaster unit that helps performers (e.g., echo cites work for Keith Urban) build fan-facing online communities and e-commerce revenue. Mark's posts indicate he's spending time attending events, walking beaches and strategizing his next move. One entry suggests that two years ago, when Mark and co-founder Neil Einstman, and later co-owner Pinky Gonzales sold echo to Ticketmaster, the pricetag was a pretty cool $25MM. Mark told us this afternoon Einstman is playing a lot of golf. Gonzales, according to recent reports, is trying his hand at some angel investing, in addition to presenting at events like BarCamp Nashville, a part-time gig as adjunct faculty at Belmont University, and other pursuits.
