Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,
Here's the latest, and boy, does the new Official Site look nice and
really take advantage of the newest technological means on the net:
1# Jamiroquai.com has today (Thursday) relaunched with a new look
website. Part of the press release that has been issued to announce
the launch is as follows:
The site takes a new approach to the music business in that it
delivers not only a comprehensive destination for all things
Jamiroquai but also facilitates sharing and syndication via widgets
and social networks. Content includes songs, video, event details,
merchandise and artist resources.
Fans will be able to interact with Jamiroquai, enabling them to
place popular widgets and Jamiroquai content on their own social
networking and / or blog pages easily. The website employs new
technologies, including calendar software Spongecell that allows
updates on where the band is and what they're doing. The software
catalogues the bands journey from its arrival on the scene in the
early 1990s to the present day.
Jay Kay of Jamiroquai says, "The internet is shaping the future of
music and I'm excited by the potential it offers artists. The new
Jamiroquai.com site takes advantage of the internet's growing ability
to connect and share more intimately with our fans. They are now more
involved building and sharing what they wish from the content on our
site, even creating content themselves to share with us and each other."
Jamiroquai.com has existed since 1997, making it one of the
world's longest running official sites.
