Podbop Version 2Podbop Version 2
I am proud to present Podbop version two. Many, many long days, nights and weekends later - it's finally here!
New features:
We serve the world
The funny thing is, we always have. The map on the front page was meant to just be a fun way to show cities recently searched. But many misunderstood it, thinking Podbop was a US-only service. Well, no more confusion! Now we have maps for Canada, Europe and the whole world to make our coverage more clear.
Radius & Podbop/All Events
Easily the most requested feature. You can now add a radius (up to 50 miles) to your city search so you don't have to subscribe to two or three podcast feeds.
Also, you now have the option of seeing all events in your area or, with a check of a box, just the events for which we have an MP3 for.
Browse Artist Database
Instead of just waiting for artists to play your city, why not browse around our database and discover thousands of free MP3s.
Event Adding
A big disconnect we noticed were bands adding themselves to Podbop and then wondering why they never got much exposure. Podbop is the most useful when you keep adding your current tour dates. Now you can do that within Podbop. You can still add them through Eventful as well.
The final new feature is this blog you are looking at. I've had an itch to be able to share new music I love, write about concerts & festivals I've attended, and discuss where the music industry is heading. I also know a few people who have better taste than me, go to more concerts than me, and know more about the music industry. I invited these six people to all be writers on this blog, and I'm excited about what they will be able to contribute. So welcome Pedro, Cory, Keith, Brett, Liz & Mark!
And finally, I'd like to thank everyone who helped Daniel and I make this release happen. Kaela, Scott, Chirag & Brett: I am truly thankful for your patience, advice and friendship.
