What do you do when your friend ignores you for a few weeks?

Hopefully, you forgive and forget because I apologize for being so slack on keeping up to date over here. I’ve been pretty focused on a few new music related projects (details coming soon) and this part of my life (the one that doesn’t pay) has taken a back seat.

On a related note, I recommend anyone with interesting content to share try seeding a page or two on StumbleUpon.com. There has been a lot of hype around using StumbleUpon to generate traffic and interest for your music and/or website but I’ve recently been blown away by the thousands of hits I’m seeing to this site from StumbleUpon. We’ll take a closer look at this in the near future…

On the topic of the future, I received this note in my inbox today:

If you’ve been paying attention, you already know that My Space is on the decline for indies. It has become a surrogate for major labels and it is also now evident that few people read the bulletins anymore, so building that friend list for most has been a major waste of time. Why wade around in overcrowded waters where many artists are trying to fool the system, when you can be part of a truly innovative site where the traffic (which is enormous, by the way) is not mainly a dating pickup joint but rather is made up of serious indie music lovers, many who run internet stations and work to promote your music for you.

In recent months, thousands of My Space artists have migrated to IACmusic.com. They set up a page and get immersed rather quickly because IAC is where the legitimate indie culture on the web congregates. We don’t bother with outdated gimmicks like friend lists but focus on the appreciation of quality music, the heart of the site is the amazing station/playlist set up which totally blows away anything of its kind anywhere else. IAC belongs to the artists, it’s the perfect union of internet and music You will meet collaborators and journalists. We could go on but if you start a free page for your songs you will absolutely see for yourself. IAC is intelligent, not corporate. You will remember why you got into music in the first place. Do you write quality songs? Then there’s one place you need to be.

IACmusic.com homepage (where your songs and blogs show up immediately)

And then came across this post on some users’ expeirences.
