The future of artist presence of the web is not in an all-in-one premium web service or a social network that has conflicting business priorities but in easily customizable open source software.
I’m a big open-source advocate, and Opentape is great. But I’m not sure the above is true - I think community is vital to online music, so to some extent social networks (or similar) are a must. Not every artist can have a stand-alone presence.
I’d love to be proven wrong though.
