A quick Google search reveals that pud created Fandalism in 2006 as a site for "uploading and sharing your tunes":

Now it's an "invite-only directory of good musicians".

Would love to hear your story how you took your time to launch Fandalism :)

In 2006 I had a different site at the same domain.

The old Fandalism ("YouTube for music") was basically exactly what SoundCloud is today.

Except that people starting uploading a lot of copyrighted pirated stuff that I didn't want to deal with (hosting was expensive back then). So I shut it down.

Fandalism today is a completely different site (though I suppose related), but with the same domain. I launched this beta 12 days ago or so.

Wow. Just 12 days ago?

How did you get people to engage with the site?

Tried looking for inspiration at your Fandalism blog (http://blog.fandalism.com/) but it seems to be password protected now.

Looking forward to learning more from you, pud!
