We reached out to Dave and asked if he might share a few clarifications with his readers: 1. CMJ reviewed all of its submissions, but a bug in our "Status Manager" tool prevented artists from receiving updates at the correct time. (This has since been fixed.) 2. We have also updated our "Hits Tracker" to more accurately reflect the traffic that artists' EPKs are getting. 3. Sonicbids' founder, Panos Panay, posted a response to the CMJ-related confusion, but we should have acted quicker communicating this to our members. You can read Panos' note here: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2007/09/sonicbids_cmj_s.html We apologize for the confusion this caused last year, and hope artists continue sharing their ideas for our service. (The "Hits Tracker" was initially a member idea.) Thank you, Benjy Kantor http://www.sonicbids.com/ Hi everyone.
