this is cool, but the real reason I'd want this? honestly?

When the albums get leaked to what.cd.

I like the layout, I really like the sign up form (nice and simple) one thing, when searching for something with multiple results there is no way to go "back" once you've clicked "n more artists"

its a bit weird that the album links dont go direct to amazon/iTMS -- i assumed that was your revenue stream?

I guess it depends on how many artists you want to follow. And also how obscure they are. I personally have about 80 artists I absolutely want to know when they have a new release (to sample it or at least to read a review). And 80% of them are not even on Amazon.

They will, we are working on this.

If you're able to get referral revenue from amazon there's no reason your service couldn't be extended to authors/books as well.

Yes, and directors/actors ;)
