Hypebot Celebrates Its 5th Anniversary

Way back in the summer of 2004 I began sharing what I was learning about the evolving music industry first with our stakeholders at Skyline Music and then gradually with a wider audience.  Five years later, Hypebot has grown into the most read blog chronicling the digital music space and new music business. 

Along the way, I've tried to strike a balance between news and commentary, as well as, between industry announcements and actionable advice.  I am honored that some have grown to see Hypebot as a filter and guide.  A few interesting numbers from 2004 to today:

• I've published 5,701 posts
• You've left 6599 comments
• 7718 people read Hypebot via RSS
• Another 1489 read via a daily email
