I'll concur that it's easy to set up a profile, and am looking forward to it being a great way to widen the community and stations' exposure.

Well. it's been a month so far. What's the consensus with this?

[Midas]

For me personally, it's easier to create a layout on Zoints than MySpace. The site doesn't seem to get bogged down like MySpace or even Windows Live Spaces does. The only thing is I haven't seen a lot of traffic on my page yet...it's only been a month though. I like the community feeling and David (who's also a member here) seems very personable and helpful.

Has it helped the stations? I don't know really. I'm guessing it hasn't hurt. I've seen numbers for Renegade Retro higher than months past as of late.

[ThunderVamp9]

True. Question there is, is it Zoints helping to boost numbers, or is it just the cleaned up playlist?

[Midas]

Dunno. Anyone ever send you a comment stating how they found the station in that comments section on the site or by e-mail? I'd be curious to know those who tune in during the day, how they found RR & CGR.

[ThunderVamp9]

Nope, I can count the number of comments I've ever received on one hand.
