Why do artists, musicians and bands waste their money on sites like ReverbNation?
RN just lists your music on other sites, which is something you can do yourself. They bind you into a year long contract for basically a one time service. A dynamic new social music site - www.BackstageVibe.com - is free to get started and has so much more in the way of functionality and versatility than all the rest. Fans and musicians can connect and interact. Musicians and artists can collaborate. And people can sell music and merch with no hidden commissions or fees.
What is Pocodot social site?
It's basically a wannabe website. First, take a look at first Xanga, then Myspace, and now, Facebook's success. They were/are really famous, and everybody had/has one. So, here comes Pocodot, wanting the attention, and by doing that, they advertise on Youtube and even Yahoo Answers, and probably even more! Trying to sound cool and awesome, they say stuff like "every celebrity has one" or "Pocodot is really cool". The way they advertise is cheating, in my opinion. There are some websites in the sources column, check those out or just google "pocodot" or "pocodot scam" or something along those lines.
How do you connect with other creative artists? What social platforms do you use?
The best way to connect is to simply engage. Discuss their their work in the comments, press the appreciate button; artists like their work to be talked about. Certain platforms have messaging built right in to get touch and most artists include their contact information on their profile page.Some great social networks for creative artists or portfolio sites rather are:Behance - Holds extensive collections and categories of different works. I would contend this network is the most popular site in the design space. It has a content first search style. - behance.netDribbble - A very popular network that is a little bit simpler than behance in terms of how content is displayed. It has a content first search style. - dribbble.comCarbonnade - People before content focused. You'll find artists in a particular industry and you'll see their content once you click on their page. It's kind of like Tumblr where users can craft their own blog/website. - carbonmade.com

Flowd was a social networking app to connect music fans with their artists in 2010. Why did it fail?
Because it is impossible for musicians to communicate directly to their fans. To connect is a huge thing. For each musician to connect with millions of their fans is a bit much to ask of them.The only result of this type of connection would be bands posting information about their shows, new music, and other thoughts they have on whatever they feel like sharing.This is no different than any other social networking medium. You can follow bands on facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc…. And basically you will experience the same thing on these mediums as one would with Flowd.There just is no practical purpose for Flowd when there are plenty of other successful mediums already exist.
What do you think about all social networking sites? Like Myspace or Facebook.?
It depends. My view are as follows: I prefer facebook, due to how its organized. It is set up purely for social networking, easy to handle and simple. It has a more professional feel to it. Myspace is more of a dating/social/ad hybrid site. I must say it is a mess. The customizations and profile editing are disorganized and just plain bad. people feel the need to fill their profile pages with 1000 pictures and videos so that it takes forever to scroll down. On another point, the amount of solicitors on myspace is embarrassing. As for other social networking sites, from the ones i've been to, it all goes downhill from there. In general (facebook mostly), i think social networking sites are great. They allow new relations to form. They allow old relations to progress. I love the idea of contact between the world. Like during the haiti crisis, people used facebook to relay information about details and missing persons. I personally enjoy it as many others do as well. It is also useful for companies or musical artists. But to every positive there is a negative, unfortunately. Social networking sites allows personal information to be available to people who perhaps should not have that information. It also makes predators become a larger, harder to detect force...
