I esp love that it is founded by Stanford grads. Wahoo! Awesome. I will have to check out the other digital download site mentioned to help promote my music. I would be nice for artists to be able to pick a few (only) storefronts to sell through rather than having to spread thin marketing resources across so many social networking destinations... I think that's the primary reason Fuzz failed. Artists and their teams just don't have time to have "another MySpace"...and now, of course...we have Facebook. YAY. :) i heart facebook. m Yeah–I love Sutros! I esp love that it is founded by Stanford grads. Wahoo! Awesome.

Erin works now at Digg but it was interesting to get the insight on that project early on. The whole story is an interesting case study on how startups can (and sometimes must) evolve radically to survive and achieve success.
