December 21, 2011 (India) - AddiQtd.com, known for its creative & innovative ways to promote fresh musical talents, shakes hands with Jackson Records. Recently AddiQtd has released its new music community version of AddiQtd RockersHub where artists can sign up & manage their own profiles like they do in MySpace or any other music networking site. Now new bands/ artists are going to enjoy added benefits of being the member of AddiQtd RockersHub. 

A team from Jackson Records is continuously monitoring new music uploads on this social platform. New artists who struggle to get their music released & distributed over all the famous online retail stores, can now get surprise album contracts with Jackson Records - an independent record label promoting musical genres like rock, pop, metal, classical, jazz & country. As a start, Jackson Records is signing up with the founder of AddiQtd.com (Utsav Bhanja) for a musical duo with Ali in a Hindi album. The album shall be available all over the world digitally through iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon music, AddiQtd.com, etc. Jackson Records has opened the doors to a new world of musical diversity for all the members of the RockersHub community.

AddiQtd.com just launched its new version of RockersHub a few days back on 2nd December, 2011. This version is an ultimate online utility that bridges artists & bands with fans & listeners. Here are the key features of  the new community:

* People can sign up for FREE as Artists or Listeners

The website is pretty fast with lesser flash content & has already proved to be a great platform for artists & musicians to showcase their talents freely. RockersHub is slowly becoming a popular place to find new artists & listen to new music. Hope you all enjoy being a part of it!

Steve Jobs is no more!

STEVEN PAUL JOBS: 1955 - 2011


The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56 after struggling with pancreatic cancer for several years. He had been one of the greatest mentors of the computer industry; the innovator of world's sleekest & smartest gadgets that are useful in our daily lives. From Macintosh computers to iPhones & iPads, Steve made it possible to compute with ease.
Jobs also served at Pixar Animation Studios & later at The Walt Disney Company, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.
Steve Jobs was born in California & was adopted by the Steven Paul family. His biological parents were Abdul Fattah John Jandali, Syrian Muslim & Joanne Schieble, an American graduate of German ancestry.
Apple has lost a visionary & the world has lost a creative genius. We will miss you Steve! 

addiqtd.com v2.0 BETA release

AddiQtd.com is coming up with its new version of the website. AddiQtd.com V2.0 BETA is ready for public use and will be live in 3 days. The question arises - why a new version in just 4 months of the previous?

Founder & Developer - Utsav Bhanja says, "we didn't encounter much problem with the previous version, however, many of the visitors became confused with added featured sections of the site. We also realized that it was essential to give each module enough breathing space so that people don't lose focus. Moreover, the system architecture of the 1st version was not smart enough to cope up with multimedia additions everyday to the site."

Is it only about the looks?

"No. Definitely, people will see a new look, but at the same time, it is smarter than the previous one. We have focused on improving 3 key points of the website - 1. Speed, 2. Accessibility, 3. Presentation.
1. Speed - Users reported, the site went slow day by day. This time the speed problem would not occur. We have done all necessary modifications to the code of the website.
2. Accessibility - We have put forward the concept of Ease-of-Use. This implies, easier operations for end-users. They won't get confused or lost while browsing the site content. Introduction of moving banners & small animated featured news box will enable people to easily read the content of their choice by single clicks. We have removed unnecessary content blocks that added to the confusions of the end-users previously.
3. Presentation - When we launched AddiQtd.com, people said it had a feel-good effect. So we have modified the site theme to add a little spice to the 'feel-good' effect. Hopefully, everybody is going to like it. "

AddiQtd.com is going to release the new BETA version by the end of this week. The final version will be released after 2 months of public BETA testing reports. During this testing period, if you want to suggest anything to AddiQtd, please us at: info@addiqtd.com .
