New Podbop Feature: Festival PagesNew Podbop Feature: Festival Pages

Daniel and I are very pleased to present Podbop Festival pages. This is where we will be showcasing select festivals. What's really exciting about these are how we carry out our community aspect, allowing anybody to contribute

Having gone to Coachella, SXSW, Music Midtown and others, I know what it's like to get involved. Once you've decided to go to a festival, you start keeping tabs on who's rumored to be there and what good bands to look out for. Once you've gone you want to see what other people thought, if they caught that crazy moment on camera, and a place to share your own experiences and photos. I hope that showcasing festivals will help build a sort of community for those involved.

Our first festival, as you might've guessed, is Athens Popfest 2006. Here's a breakdown of the features:

Podbop Blog Coverage

All the previews, interviews and show reviews that our editors have written about the festival will show up here. See who we're excited to be seeing, who you should avoid, what your favorite bands are saying, and how it all went down.

Blogosphere Coverage

We pull in entries from Technorati tagged with that festival's designated tag (in this case it's athenspopfest2006). This is how you can get your own entries showcased. Technorati has more information on how to tag your blog entries to get them included.

Festival Photos

We pull these from Flickr using the same tag. Again, anyone can participate.

Performances

This is a slice out of the city pages, where you get a preview of all the performances happening at the festival. Just like on our city pages, we match up performers with mp3s.
