"The Web has been huge for unsigned musicians.  Many artists have leveraged social networking tools and music discovery services to find record deals, while others have built large online fan bases.  Looking to capitalize on this trend, MSN has added a feature called \u201CUnsigned\u201D to its music channel in the UK, allowing artists to upload music videos and have their work featured on the site.\nUnfortunately, that\u2019s just about all Unsigned offers.  As a visitor, you can do a simple browsing of the most recently uploaded videos or check out profiles for a few of the bands that MSN has decided to feature.  But there are no interesting discovery features, no community, and not much content, other than a few generic articles about how to get a record deal.  Additionally, the uploaded process is cumbersome \u2013 MSN explains how to do it in a 13 step tutorial.  \n\n\n\n\nThe one thing that MSN Unsigned does offer is traffic.  MSN\u2019s UK site boasts 5.4 million visitors every month.  Is that enough to attract a few bands to upload videos?  Absolutely.  But AmieStreet, Sellaband, and the dozens of other websites targeting this crowd need not quiver in their boots over the arrival of Microsoft in their space."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
