even though I've chosen to participate at streetjelly, I can't disagree with anything that's been said.

Far from policing the content to create an image of quality, they actually seem to go the other direction, positively reinforcing any warm body that gets on stage. I've asked myself why, and the only answer I can come up with is that they are still trying to build momentum, still trying to get to a point where there is something going on 24-7

But they're far from that point... so until then, they focus on quantity. As participation increases, they can be pickier about who and what they encourage.

I can see the site going either way. If it goes up, the faithful members who hung in there until it clicked will be in on the ground floor, charter members more or less.

If it stalls, my personal goals will still be met: I'm using it as a way to ease back into performing in front of a "live" audience, refining my trax, all without having to schlep any heavy gear to and from gigs. Everything stays setup, and whenever I feel ready, I turn on the web cam. Easy. And fun.

It meets my needs perfectly, but I acknowledge that the site could be a PR liability for somebody who is trying to make a reputation for him/herself.

Having said that, there are a few killer musicians on there who have reduced their set to an acoustic and a voice. I've heard their recordings, and I'm trying to convince them to reclaim their full sound by using their own trax.

It will be interesting to see how the site evolves
