Fanfound intends to capitalize on tides of change currently sweeping the music community. A company coming out of the Purdue Technology Center in Merrillville, IN and led by Chris Bauman, is a Website dedicated to helping fans connect with their favorite artists. In turn this site allow artists to connect with their fans more directly. This also offers rich information for venues. If fanfound becomes large enough, venues could make decisions about what artists to bring based on an artist’s fanfound fan base.

When I visit the Fanfound pages, I’m reminded of Facebook mixed in with some Myspace.  This then begs the question, why isn’t this Website a Facebook application?  There should definitely be a Myspace widget.  Is there any famous music artists associated with Fanfound?  If so, I think it would do Fanfound some good to flaunt that person (e.g., have a video of them saying how much Fanfound rocks on the homepage).

In short, I wish the folks at Fanfound the best.  The concept definitely makes sense.  The right people need to find out about it.  If anybody has any suggestions do leave comments.  Now Fanfound…get those widgets built!!
