Dear Broadjam Member,
Broadjam.com now has nearly 100,000 members from 190 countries around the world. We started in 1999 and launched our first website in 2000. To our knowledge there is only one other website still in existence that was in the internet indie music space when we started. We are very proud to have sustained ourselves in a tumultuous industry that was and is still in its infancy. We are sincerely grateful that so many musicians from around the world have made us their online home.
Over the years, many features like transmit, public and private playlists and selling downloads were generated by suggestions from our community. We are extremely pleased to get so much good feedback and that so many of our members are getting so much from Broadjam.com. While we’re appreciative of the past and will continue to offer all of the current services on Broadjam.com, we are moving forward.
For the past two years we have been planning the complete overhaul of Broadjam.com. Last October, we started implementing that plan and over the next few days, weeks and months, you will see the results of it.
The first phase of Broadjam.com 2.0 will launch a new look to our website. You will see a simpler, cleaner and a more “Web 2.0″ look to the design. It will be easier to navigate and most of the features on the site will be at your fingertips. You will see faster page load times, searching will be more in-depth and many new features are coming right behind the launch. Broadjam Connections, will allow you to directly link and communicate with other members of Broadjam through our in-house communication systems. These and other features will enable songwriting partnerships to prosper, fan bases to develop and online networking to exist all within the margins of your profile page at Broadjam.com. We are certainly looking forward to the possibilities for our members.
As you navigate through the new website and experiment with the new features, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for all of your support and we look forward to hearing from you.
Best of luck,
Roy Elkins
Founder and CEO

Aug 28, 2008/6:37 pmI felt the old look was more functional-
Aug 26, 2008/7:17 pmLooks “cheaper” to me-
Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs
I know it will take awhile to poke around and get used to…but right now I can not find where my pending deliveries are. I don’t see them under opportunities. Where are the pending deliveries now? Thanks.
Aug 25, 2008/9:47 pmSite is faster. Slightly.
But the “Opportunities” listings in small light blue font against white is hard to read, and you can’t see the sub or posted dates anymore without opening the link.
Also, it’s great to see my songlist in total along the left, but the pink numbers don’t line up with the titles.

Aug 23, 2008/3:18 amgood job guys, it’s faster and it looks professional.
Aug 22, 2008/8:57 pmI liked the old look. New look seems “low buget”, uncomfortable, and glaring. I hope it grows on me :^{

Aug 22, 2008/7:30 pmOn my Homepage, I see the first three songs listed. I can play those three songs, but when I click “…all 13 songs” I do not see where I click to hear them. I only see where I can edit, delete, or, re-upload.
I always liked the eclectic look of the old BJ, but I am sure I will grow accustomed to the new look…. a more professional, sanitary, wordly look. Less room for interpretaion, more room for business. Best wishes. I will stay with you!
Aug 21, 2008/11:54 pmEveryone,
Thanks for the feedback and please keep it coming. It’s greatly appreciated.
We are working on the Log Out issue. Not sure about this at the moment. but we’ll get it.
Also, look for more changes in the next week or so. Lots of new stuff coming.

Aug 21, 2008/8:38 pmYep, won’t let me log out either. White’s a little hard on the eyes, but I’ll get used to it.
I’m trying to find the place (becausse it is so gone and might be because it won’t let me log out) where the information for the different membership levels is at. I’ve scoured all over the links, but can’t find it anywhere. My son wants to sign his band up, but there is not where on here that I can give him the information because I can’t log out to get to it.

Aug 20, 2008/7:44 pmI like this new system but won’t let me log out?
Aug 20, 2008/3:34 pmEverything looks and functions Great, But It won’t let me Log Out!
Aug 19, 2008/7:55 pmThe screen reloads and when I put the pointer over “Log Out” it says “Go to this # on page”
Not sure?
But I love this place Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
