“Panos’ Brew” is Sonicbids founder/CEO Panos Panay’s weekly (or more) post about whatever happens to be on his mind. Look for musings and observations on entrepreneurship, the state of the music business, his experiences with members, interesting things he’s seen in his travels, or just about anything else.

I fell in love at first sight with my iPhone back in June 2007. And I’ve re-fallen for it (kinda like renewing your vows) ever since Apple introduced the App Store.
As a user, I love that I can make my iPhone “mine” – customize it the way I want and access the information that I want whenever I want with a 
couple of touches.
Today we launched a new plugin at Sonicbids (following plugins for Twitter; Google Blogs; and Last.fm) that enables artist members to sync their Sonicbids accounts with their MySpace accounts.
For right now, this enables Artists and Bands to make visible to Sonicbids Promoters their MySpace friends count — right from the area where a promoter reviews submissions (as well as from Artist account “Dashboards”).
This has been an oft-requested feature by both sides of the Sonicbids community as, along with the other plugins, it gives Promoters a good idea about an artist’s web popularity outside of the Sonicbids universe. And increasingly, one’s web popularity is pretty much the only popularity that matters.
This of course (along with the other plugins) is a small step towards making Sonicbids accounts for both artists and promoters much more useful, convenient and customizable.
Sync your MySpace accounts right now because there is a lot more cool stuff coming up – and more plugins.
