DigaBand enters Saas Social Media Music Dashboard space

Hmmm another new Social Media Dashboard enters the scene? Nifty. www.DigaBand.com . I’m going to put this in my “widegets” category as I simply do not have a “Dashboard” category. A dashboard let’s you control your status updates and say, similar to the likes of ReverbNation or iLike.com, an array of widgets can be deployed/updated/controlled/tracked. With yesterday’s implementation of the iLike.com Artist Dashboard and fan, music player, analytics into Myspace, the Web Music Technology / Social Networking space is getting very interesting. Who will be king?

From the description on the Alpha site, regarding the Beta launch, it seems to be just that, a Dashboard “+” other perks, such as the value add of networking with other “indie” bands “with less than 1000 fans” … ya know, the ol’ “team up with other bands” thing. Share fans, put on a show, sell stuff, drink beer with your combined fandom assets. Great article on TechCrunch this morning.

I have not got into the program yet, and I’m kinda guessing it’s a Dashboard play… but I can say perfect timing to enter the space. Good luck guys, can’t wait to tinker with the new diggs! Ok, gotta gig, gotta go!
