The latest addition to the web’s maze of music sites, social networks, and fan/band connection zones is Broadtexter. The new musician-aimed site allows North America-based musicians to create free Mobile Fan Clubs which allow hem to use regionalized text messaging to stay connected with fans. Artists currently using Broadtexter include The Cinematics, TRAPT, The Weepies, American Idol’s Constantine Maroulis, Melissa Ferrick, The Nadas, and Reel Big Fish. The service, which is similar to Relix’s own text message alerts, allows musicians to update their fans more easily on the road and spread news about tour updates and other information. Growing out of the relationship MySpace helped bands foster with their fans, Broadtexter also allows bands to alert their fans about show time changes, radio appearance announcements, and exclusive fan club discounts. For more information about the service please visit www.broadtexter.com.
