You did a great job on this Greg! There were a few gems in there I hadn't heard about yet. Thanks for putting it together and making it available to all for free!

Took 2 calls, 5 service reps and about 60 minutes but they finally offered me a month credit. Be firm but be nice!

Great video! I like the feeling of being a smaller startup which was hard to identify with on Startup Junkies on MOJO. Want to watch more!

Re: The list of books I’ve read in the past year

Thanks for posting this Derek, I now have some new stuff to check out. Coincidentally I've read several of the books on your list this year as well. (After I saw some of them in the recommended reading at the end of the 4 Hour Work Week)

Two others I've read this year and found to be really good are:
Do You! - by Russell Simmons
Tuned In - by Craig Stull, Phil Myers, and David Meerman Scott

Oh I'm drooling at the mouth for a chance to use that! Looking forward to checking it out in action.

Having been a show promoter in the past I can see this site being very valuable. Its not easy to get a broker to start carrying your tickets without some pretty large upfront fee's.

However, From the looks of the FAQ the promoter/bands are charged between .50 and $3.00 per ticket sold. Instead of the customer feeling ripped off seeing "Service Charge - $2.50" at the bottom of each ticket those fees will just be built into the base ticket price.

Feeless Tickets? No. Clever marketing? Very!

I'm sure the account deletion is transitional. The account I use was MIA for a bit but after rechecking an hour later everything was back in place. Thank God cause I didn't know how else to waste time!

I'm happy to see the greatest rock band ever, Rocket From The Crypt, not so prominently featured on one of my favorite blogs!

Take a look at Music Arsenal. An application for record labels and other music companies to manage their day to day operations.

Re: Does Your Favorite Band Rock the Social Web?

Thanks for your post about RockDex Jennifer! We really appreciate it! We're working on some new features to be released soon that will give artists even better insight into their buzz.

- Andrew, thanks for compliment! We're going to be adding in some new sites to analyze soon.

- Tom, thats a good point! Its hard to balance the business side and the art side of music. Theres a lot of options out there and hopefully RockDex was worth your time. I hope we can bring you some more useful tools in the future!

- Jackie, I hope your artists find it useful too!

- Sean, we've had that mentioned to us by a couple of people but RockDex was built without ever seeing or knowing much beyond press releases about BandMetrics. We haven't heard of anyone getting into their beta since they announced it last September.

If anyone wants to know more feel free to e-mail me at jimmy@musicarsenal.com.
