I have since it began operations a couple of years ago (eons in internet time) used the Mevio site Podsafe Music Network.
It allows me access to a huge library of new musical talent quickly and easily but every time I log on I get either sad or angry.
Why such emotion? Well what I see is one huge lost opportunity that does a disservice to the artists, podcasters and end users that visit the site.
It fails to deliver on so many levels it shouldnt even exist but just like Microsoft a few years back, there simply was nothing to better it, so it stayed at the top of the pile.
Well that surely doesnt cut it any longer does it?
Am I the only one that sees huge opportunity for the artists to connect with new audiences that will then purchase their music? Podcasters to feature and connect with bands and their communities as well as ways to obtain their tracks with even greater ease and finally end users to be able to interact with the music and the podcasters playing it in new and exiting ways?
This could all be done with only a little re-programming but it could also be done in a way that actually generates several good quality sustainable income streams for the site.
I am surely not the only one that wants to see this site continue and in fact prosper in the world of new media that Mevio wants to play a big part in?
This site, unloved and maybe unwanted by Mevio is the one part of the company that could be profitable, popular and stand the test of time. Wake up Mevio, act to save this site, it could be the one thing that saves you once the venture capital dries up.
Podshow was centre stage at the dawn of the new media revolution, now where is it in relation to the Revision 3’s of the world?
WAKE UP MEVIO - Before its too late!!!!
