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
- 3448 follow on Twitter
- 35,653 more unique visitors visited the site directly last month viewing an average of just 18,413 posts each week
- 1.63 Million page views since launch
