Spread Live Music
For the last several months, I've been working on a new feature for JamBase which allows anyone to publish a MyJamBase Public Profile. This will create a JamBase page of your own that displays a little bit of information about you, a list of upcoming shows in your personal calendar (viewable by friends only) along with your favorite bands and upcoming shows for those bands. It also lists any friends with Profiles along with a Photo Gallery.
Yeah, it's kinda like some of those other social media/networking/lifestyle sites except I like to say that your MyJamBase Friends are people you actually know and go to shows with in the real world as well as the whole purpose of this is to get people to actual leave their computers and hang out in real life. Crazy concept, I know.
After much testing, playing and testing again I recently "soft launched" this new set of features. For those with My JamBase accounts there is now a "My Public Profile" link in the top header which will lead you through a basic set-up process, photo upload and then to your newly created public profile.
The idea here is to create a trusted source for live music recommendations. Any fan can recommend music simply by customizing their own page. It should hopefully evolve to turn people onto new kinds of music in a whole new way.
With no promotion and very little site wide integration, over 500 people have set up their profiles. It's still in the larva stages of development and there isn't any way (yet) to "search" or "browse" for other fans in your area but you can hopefully see where this can and will go.
