YouBloom Update

Just a short update on YouBloom.com. The new YouBloom.com just re-launched its contest site on May 3rd, and after the first round of the contest, it went exactly as predicted – the bands that were best able to get their own fan base to vote got the most votes.

There are no incentives at all to explore the music they offer, just a list of songs. You can search for songs by their limited genres, or for a specific artist or song. But then, you just click to vote.

If you have a big, active fan base, then this might be a good site for you. But you will have to be pesky with your fans. There is a new round of voting every week, and without a lot of votes (well, not so many while the site is still growing, but still, it is all about voting), your songs won’t advance.
