Jay Fonacier, and what he thinks of the digital music scene in the Philippines. Jay: Completely revamped home page that gives a “snapshot†of everything happening on the site – anytime a user/artist posts a (public) blog, event, photo, comment, playlist or song, the community sees it and it engenders more discovery. Jay: Right now it's a combination of advertising/sponsorship and download (mainly cellular) revenue, but the plan is to offer full tracks, CDs for sale, additional merchandise (shirts, tickets et al) and be more savvy in serving up ads with content. Jay: More than 5,000 members on-site, a few thousand more thru our “embassies†(friendster, multiply, facebook), and many more visitors everyday (we don’t really push people to sign up as members, as such there are a lot of “anonymous†comments and non-member traffic on the site). Jay: I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst, which is why we’ve shaped the site (thru so many features) for maximum stickiness (more than 12 mins per average session) and interaction (more than 14 clicks per visit) to hopefully make sponsorship/ads more viable. Jay: The emphasis is really for an artist to be able to upload his own music, be discovered by music lovers, and get his music out to people (you can only upload If you’re an artist).
