Time is precious, and so is accuracy. By adding details of 10,000 performance venues to their web application ArtistData have further simplified the lives of musicians, making it easier for them to keep their fans updated with accurate information about upcoming performances.

This has been one of our most requested features. Now when you are adding a show within ArtistData, as you type in the venue name, you will hopefully be greeted with a long list of potential matches.We loaded about 10,000 venues in there to start and will be adding more as you input shows at venues we dont have, so dont worry if the venue you’re playing isn’t in there. If you add the show, we’ll get a note to add that venue!

Veritocracy is a social news network with a difference – you don’t socialise. Instead users of the site vote article up or down anonymously, and have their preferences inferred from their voting patterns.

Just because an article contained information you are glad you read, does not necessarily mean you endorse it. Veritocracy uses your votes to feed you more of what you want to see, and less of what you don’t. With most social news or bookmarking sites, a vote translates into a public endorsement of an article. In some cases this can also mean a public endorsement of the author and/or the viewpoints contained in it. Veritocracy makes all votes private to ensure that everyone can vote frequently and honestly, without having to consider how those votes will be perceived by others.

The service is still in beta, so it will still be a while before we find out whether anonymity breeds wiser crowds. In the meantime I can’t help but admire the beautiful interface.
