Jamendo has released another cool widget on their artist pages: the "BuzzTeam." Apparently a BuzzTeam is a group of fans who have recommended the artist. Here's the BuzzTeam for Revolution Void:
731 users are in the BuzzTeam of this artist. They starred one of its albums, recommended it by mail, wrote a review or published a embedded player widget on their blog. The number of successful recommendations is shown next to the username.
I have to say, this is pretty cool! It's great to be able to see not only how many fans there are for an artist, but how much the grass-roots online promotion method is working. In my case, I have found it to work quite well.
Previously, I blogged about how great it was that Jamendo is now sharing 50% of its advertising profits with artists. Well, their service keeps getting better and better. With features like this being released, it's safe to say that Jamendo has established itself at the forefront of the renaissance of free music.
