I’ve blogged about Radioverve before (here), while their site was not much to talk about before they’ve gone ahead and revamped the thing into a total kickass wordpress based website. Their integration of flash and AJAX with the wordpress theme is mind blowing. I really like their flash player and its intuitive interface. It all fits in quite well with their site. They’ve got loads of new content and they’ve split it up into different channels - Rock, Metal, Gospel, Jazz, Classical, Konkani, folk (yet to come) and their usual mishmash of everything. I find that especially convenient when I’m not quite into a song on one channel I just switch channels to something more interesting.
They’ve still got a few rough edges but none serious enough to spoil the experience. They’ve got a program schedule but in its present form I can’t see how its of any use. I’m not even sure if the program schedule is correct. Their rock channel schedule states that the LBG show should be playing at 10:30 pm but its 10:48 PM now and ‘Medicis - My World’ is playing (awesome song that. Gotta buy their album.) Also, it sounds like their promos have gone from bad to worse. It sounds like bloopers that they’ve taped and stuck in between songs, maybe its supposed to be funny but the humour completely escapes me. It gets pretty annoying after a while. I actually liked the Demon stealer records advertisement (a metal compilation of hardcore, metalcore and nu-metal - That guy had an awesome voice) better than the radioverve promos. Talking about promos, radioverve now has a badge that you can use.
And finally the one I think I’ll use - 
That large badge looks like its been badly cropped. Anyone willing to do the honours?
All in all its a good step forward and I’m sure everyone will appreciate the new content on radioverve. A few creative promos and a little tweaking with the site and they’re made.
The changes you asked for are coming right up sire!
Any particular promos you like changed? if you can remember and don’t mind telling me so I get a clearer idea?
gaurav at radioverve dot com .. do let me know.
Excuse my impudence. I’m naturally inclined to complain.
There were a few that seemed not quite ready. I’m not too sure what those promos were about but I’ll mail you the next time I notice them.
Gaurav, you could ask people to send in their own promos. It could be a contest.
The inbuilt player is kickass!
Wow, nice design there. Nice and shiny.
Marc - That is something we have been toying with for a long time now! but we were hoping to have some recording facility on the site before we did that but I think you are right … we should just go ahead with it now itself …
Additionally the scene here is just developing. If you agree I shall contact some of the bands I know to make promos for you.
The promo will run and at the end they can say: “This is from and you’re listening to RadioVerve!”
