From a tctd standpoint, I would love to ahve a site like TCTD where i can monitor whatever feeds and peoples personal blogs and jsut select the CREAM for the front page. If either this site or chipmusic did this, it would be awesome.

I think chipmusic would probably best suit this idea from what I hear about the "blog system" trash80 will be implementing in the future.  but hey we never know, things could change.

pow pow pow pow pow and what!

NO 8BC ON CHIPMUSIC.

True.
PLZ.

But only gijs can make time machines...

wont be surprised if he does make one, hes got skills

Unless you make a time machine.

also

YOU TAKE IT BACK. YOU TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW. NO 8BC ON CHIPMUSIC.

Also, I really hope the site ACTUALLY looks like that. It'd make me happy.

So wait...

You're suggesting that people who are not scene centric will for some reason gravitate to another scene specific website? How is this supposed to broaden the exposure?

scenario 1
guy1: oh damn whats this? that guy who makes music I like had a show in my town and I didnt know? oh how gay
guy2: LOL YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED CHIPIVERSE!!! DEY TELL YOU ALL DA CHIP SHOWS AROUND U LOL U DUM

scenario 2
Guy: hmmm I really wanna go to this show but my mates are gay poo poo faces who dont wanna go because its only advertising is on a forum filled with troll/inside jokes which make it look terrible... OH HANG ON... WHATS THIS.... chipiverse?! OH DAMN, EVERYTHING LOOKS PEFOESSIONAL!!! Whats even better is that it looks professional, has directions/google maps embeded, pictures of past events of the same event, links to buy tickets, nicely formatted artist wiki bio's on the page, videos and more! Its a good thing this site existed otherwise I doubt as much people turned up to the show.

Scenario 3: Hmmmmm I want "widget/badge" type thing on my site so that when I am playing at a show people know the exact information but in a nice clean simple manner", this is perfect for shit like myspace, forums and other gay shit which would deffiently boost the turn out of the show.

could be interesting, may i suggest an rss feed for the gigs, possibly with an option to set up preferences for what you receive based on location or other factors?
or are you still hatin'?

all in the plans
I might be thinking too big but in my personal opinion, a service like this is exactly what the chip scene needs to have gigs heard about from others who do not dwell upon these subject specific forums.
