I Am Still Alive

I am really psyched to announce the launch (beta as it is) of Artlog. Artlog is a social web application sited in art. It combines directory services (map-based venue, artist & event listings), original content, and social web features (the basics – messaging, friending, bookmarking, blogging – along with the ability to add photos, videos, and audio recordings to events, venues, & artists).

It’s an extremely young project and very much “beta software;” I’ve been working on it with Manish for a few months now and we’ve only got about 120 users right now clicking around and discovering the site. We will be rolling out new features pretty regularly for the next few weeks (today, artist & artwork directories; coming up, a database of artist grant application deadlines). We are deploying interface tweaks just about every five minutes (feels that way, anyhow).

So if you can dig it, sign up (and start adding events at your gallery or posting your work or discovering new art).
