I made a quick remark in a recent thread that I'm starting the worlds first ever Web 2.0 Record Label. I could direct you to a few good links where I go into exhaustive detail regarding what exactly I mean by that, but that's not really relevant here. Right now I'm in the very early stages of development so I'm trying to gather what technologies would be worth my interest and time. I'm trying to create a no-bs platform that offers a myriad of tools for both musicians and music fans to use and communicate over.
So I ask you, geek nation, what do you like and dislike about Web 2.0? I'm asking from a technical standpoint, so things like "I like the shinny edible logos and names spelled like frappr and flickr and poopr" isn't really what I'm looking for.
In addition, if record labels served a greater purpose, rather than this passive entity that shoves music in your face, but rather served as an intermediary between fans and artists on a social networking level. In other worse, a label has its artists and the label provides a set of resources on their website that allow fans to communicate and interact with the artists in a very Web 2.0 fashion. What features would you like to see? I have some cool ideas that I think would be really cool, but I want ideas from other people.
