Monday, August 26thVMAs... Can't Stop, Won't StopYou may have watched the VMAs last night. Given the intense mobile social integration leading up to the show, we were curious how this would play out during the ceremony itself. We were not disappointed. It's as though everyone performed with GIFs in mind (yeah Miley, we're looking at you). Some impressive tech was showcased during the performances as well - Kanye performed as a giant shadow, and Bruno's stage was almost what you'd expect for an electronic artist rather than a pop star.The engagement numbers won't be released for a few days but in the meantime, we thought we'd show you the highlights below in case you missed NSYNC (oh, it happened), along with more music tech stories from the week.
