I preferred it with names only Adam i think. Seems less clear and less defined now imo.

It just recommended Daft Punk to me. They're fucking French!
Back to the drawing board mr monkey

I have tweaked it a few times but I'm still not sure what I want to do about it. It just doesn't feel right...

I also just adjusted the recommended artists query a bit. This recommendation query just gets better and better each time I touch it

I also added code to recommend more artists to you if you subscribe to an artist. I wanted to enable those who go on a subscribing frenzy to find another artist they like immediately after subscribing to someone they like.

Looks really nice imo. Did you tweak it a bit since yesterday? The text looks a little more legible, but still not so great on the lighter images. Why not just have text with a nice css shadow over images? (the answer is because it doesn't work in IE )

This is certainly a good direction with the thumbnails instead of names only.

I can cache it so it's quicker. I may keep it if I can settle up on the design

Re: [ms] DJ Database

I've been planning on this for a while... where anybody with > ~500 posts or so can update all artists. I just need to make it happen

I'll try to work on it this week!

Re: [ms] DJ Database

Wow, just found this thread. Thanks to all involved in bringing this togetha (though I've already thanked the two most worthy parties elsewhere ). If I can make a recommendation, I see some artist pages that could use an updated URL or genre addition...can approved contributors (like those who have submitted valid artists/DJs) be allowed to update any ole' entry, as opposed to only the ones they've added?

Re: [ms] DJ Database

it's getting there day by day

Part of my original hopes included crawling the Facebook/MySpace/SoundCloud/Twitter URLs for our artists to pull in dynamic content from there. For example, I'd like to index events from FB/MySpace, and have members be able to pick a city and date to see all artists that have announced that they'll be playing there that day. Or index Twitter/Facebook posts and have the last 5/10 displayed directly on their artist profiles or in our homepage for your subscribed artists, etc. This might be a pretty big undertaking because all the data may not be in a standard format, but it's definitely not impossible. I still want to make this place more polished before I start taking on another huge project

Sounds pretty damn good mate. Hats off and thanks for the work.
