I am looking for a programmer to partner with me on an already established music sharing website: http://www.pickstation.com
It’s similar to digg.com or social bookmarking websites such as del.icio.us, in that users favorite music tracks they find on the web, and popular tracks get promoted to the front page. Artists can upload their own music, and users can put a music player widget of their favorite tracks on their website or blog.
I have some really good ideas that I would like to implement that I believe will make PickStation a very popular and virally promotable website. I’ve already partnered with an mp3 search which has over 18 million tracks to display their results in PickStation searches and allow users to add these tracks to PickStation and easily build playlists. Basic social networking features exist, but this can be expanded in a number of cool ways (such as having a station of the latest tracks being favorited by friends).
The website has gotten good review on a number of blogs and tech review sites around the web (thomas hawk’s blog, [URL=“http://franticindustries.com/blog/2007/01/22/10-pligg-sites-worth-visiting/”]frantic industries blog) and currently has around 360 registered users. To really take this site to the next level I need a talented programmer who wants to partner with me who knows PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS, and Actionscript.
If your interested let me know and we can discuss the specific features that I would like to implement and figure out a mutually agreeable partnership. I definitely want this to be something that both of us would have equal creative control over and have fun doing (so you should like music of course).
Thanks,
Gabe
