It's been a fun couple weeks for ArtistData. First, we were nominated for a Chicago Innovation Award, which is flattering in itself. Then, users started voting and commenting, which was 10000000x more flattering. Go check it out. We are humbled.

Then, late last week, Derek Sivers (founder of CD Baby) posted an article on his blog about the need for central management of data. He suggested something a bit beyond ArtistData in its current state, but mentioned that we were well on our way. Go check out his post as well.

Finally, today our friends at Next Big Sound ("Actionable Analytics for the Music Industry") posted a really great and recommended article called "A Band’s Guide to Surviving Online". They mentioned that we were making bands lives easier. We hope so. I gave my feedback in the comments.

Thanks everyone for the support! It's amazing.
