Musicians unite with BandChemistry

bandchemistry social netowrkBandChemistry is a free social network built specifically for musicians to unite with fellow music lovers. Users can locate potential bandmates and fellow musicians to form a band or to meet fellow musicians and chat. Users can also listen to music created by fellow BandChemistry users, and upload their own to show off. The site also provides music industry news, email updates, and photos. A site discussion board lets users toss around ideas, tips, comments or special announcements. BandChemistry rolled out the site in the summer of this year, so it's still a small growing social network, but one that could definitely help out musicians on their journey of music creation.

Musicians, get the word out with Divvycast

divvycast podcast creationDivvycast lets bands, artists, producers and DJ's make money by using their service, and tools to bring their creations to the audience.

Divvycast supplies publishing and creative tools that publish podcasts in a professional manner, and hook them up to high traffic areas like iTunes and Yahoo to spread the word. The service is free for 15 days, plans start at $9.95. Divvycast's production application called ePodcast Creator, is available for Mac and PC users. Once your podcast gets all packaged up into a personal URL and RSS feed, Divvycast helps spread the word through their associations with different podcast channels like iTunes and Yahoo. Once sponsors are magically interested in your podcast, you can manage your campaigns though the Divvycast system, and include the ads at the beginning and end of the podcast.

You have nothing to lose when you are independent! You have to spread the word and show people your talent, and Divvycast might be able to help you out. Is it worth the $9.95/month, and will it get you advertisers? Maybe not. Divvycast should really look at a $30 application that can be downloaded and used with no restrictions as well. This might make it a little more appealing to users. That monthly fee hurts.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
