BandFIND: a social network for musicians and industry professional
There is yet another social community for musicians, this one claiming to be the “first fully integrated social network designed specifically for musicians, bands, and the professional music industry.” BandFIND.com is geared at helping musician and those working in the industry to connect, a feat that may work if enough artists pour time into their site.
When you’re creating your profile on BandFIND, you are asked to be specific about your involvement in the music industry. There are over thirty fields to detail your experience; if you have spent 11 years of your life managing bands then you would select “band management” and scroll down to the number of years. You are also asked to describe your talents… more than just filling out a bio. Instead, you’re given over fifty instruments, along with the years and skill level.
Other aspects of BandFIND that you may find interesting are the Ads. Looking for a guitarist, or trying to sell your ukulele? If you have a band, every member of the band can create a unique profile and then “join” the band. Then spend time contacting other musicians, swap shows, etc.

Puddlegum began in 1997 as one of the first online music magazines. It is managed by Flick, and has gained respect from many in the recording industry.
Over the years Puddlegum has accomplished quite a few things we are proud of:
Being mentioned by Thom Yorke during a BBC Radio interview (concerning our Tens Theory), and being written about in Rolling Stone. We have also made the front page of TUAW, Digg, and VH1’s Best Week Ever, and have been featured on USA Today, and Reuters.

Too bad it’s built on ColdFusion. Wicked noob backend. And the interface could use some work. Not quite ready for release.
This is an awful review. Do you like the site or are you trying to discourage the use? Do you play music? If you do, you would find value in the site. Seems like you should probably stick to myspace to do your networking. Just a thought
