JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Industry Message Forum TAXI vs Broadjam???

While we wait for Xome to respond, I thought I'd put up a couple links that should illustrate some obvious differences:

This one includes 17 pages of deals via TAXI:
http://taxi.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=success

And you should scroll down the list past "Late Breaking News" and read this page:
http://taxi.com/abouts/successdeals.html

That should keep you busy a while.

A few more thoughts:

Broadjam splits its submission fees with the listing company. Plenty of motivation to run a "listing." That's not much motivation to vette a company that runs a listing. In fact, it's a conflict of interest much in the same way it's a conflict for SonicBids, who openly admit they don't check out the honesty of any of the companies they do business with meaning unless you can investigate an opportunity, you may well be ripped off. What motivation would BroadJam have to check out their listings if they are sharing money with them just to get them in the first place? Broadjam does charge a submission fee.

They don't provide professional critiques (except for their contests. I wonder if those contests are legal in every state? Anyone know?)

They don't offer a convention/conference, which TAXI includes for free. And it's considered by many, myself included, to be the best music conference in the industry of ANY kind.

Oddly enough, they don't have a message board forum where their customers can keep them honest. Why is that do you think?

That's just a few thoughts I had while waiting for Xome's response. If Xome has no connection to either company, I am sure he won't care about my comments and that he'll be getting involved in other discussions and activities at JPF. Or perhaps he'll choose to clarify or dispute my comments. I am always happy to learn something new about either company.

To David,there's no doubt that Broadjam is probably trying to improve what they do and that's a good thing. But I can't let comments that they are on the same level as TAXI go without correcting it. They simply are not. It's a fact.
