Things To Watch In The New Year

One of my favorite things to do around New Year is look at all the predictions from experts and pundits for the upcoming year. The best one I've seen this year is 100 Things To Watch in 2011, by marketing firm JWT. It covers a broad spectrum, from tech, to design, to science and even mentions tube-free toilet paper (Yes. Finally !). Only a few items are directly related to music, but lots relate to marketing and branding (and your band is your brand !), and either way it makes for a fun and smart read that might inspire some new music.

On the Bandzoogle front there are probably even more than 100 things to watch for 2011 and we will be able to talk about many of them soon. The major upgrade we've been working on is well under way. It will make Bandzoogle even more flexible and easy to use, and, backstage, it will allow us to develop new features and improvements at a much faster rate. Now's a good time to tell us your ideas, requests and wildest wishes in the "suggestion box" section of the community. We are also working on some cool hand-picked partnerships to give you access to even more services and features from your Bandzoogle hub. Stay tuned.

So, from the whole Bandzoogle team, thank you for your trust, Happy New Year, and warm wishes of health, happiness, amazing tunes... and websites that rock !
