Permalink to this day Wednesday, May 15, 2002

Fairtunes, now, Musiclink is back online after a two and half month outage. I tried to send money but it wouldn't let me create a new account so I don't know if it really is 'back online' or not.

First impression: All the flashing stuff and the splash screen is pretty annonying.

Second impression: The old Fairtunes fully disclosed a lot of information such as who made payments, where they went, what percentage we kept ($0), what percentage went to the payment processor... After 10 minutes I haven't found that information on the new site. Thanks Mark, looks like it's 30% that Musiclink takes.

Third Impression: There is no new functionality. In fact there is less since you can only do transactions with PayPal when previously Fairtunes accepted CDN & USD Visa.

Fourth Impression: In fact Fairtunes was founded in May 2000, incoporated July 2000 and subsequently launched at the beginning of August 2000. John and Matt than sold the majority of Fairtunes' assets in September of 2001 and the new owners subsequently re-branded Fairtunes as Musiclink during January 2002. So the FAQ is off by a year.

More impressions along with an entertaining digest to appear once CS360 is put to bed.

I have 4 tickets to see The Hip at Irving Plaza in New York city on June 28. Who's in?

There's also a show June 27 but it's sold out.. I think the plan would be to drive/fly down Thursday and pick up some scalped tickets so we catch both shows.

Other shows on my Calendar:

  • Ember Swift on May 24 in Toronto
  • Melissa Ferrick @ Pride on June 30 (it will be a busy weekend!)
  • The Hip @ Bayfest in Sarnia on July 12

Are there any other must see shows?
