After some very lengthy debate we decided to drop the name PhilaFunk. One of the main reasons we changed, believe it or not, was that people couldn’t spell PhilaFunk. We got lots of “PhillyFunk” and “FilaFunk” mixups–plus we had lots of people not register because theythought that you had to be in the “Funk” genre to be on the site. Despite the general awesomeness and verbal beauty of PhilaFunk, it was a bad domain name.

So, we’ve changed our name to WeMusicStore.com. We were sitting around tossing around synonyms for social and music and sort of stumbled upon this one. When we checked it on whois and found that it was available, I immediately registered it. We think that this name is a better statement of what we are–a social music store–so are happy to have the change made.

Don’t worry, by the way–all of the PhilaFunk urls will redirect to their appropriate We Music Store urls.

The next part of this announcement regards some design changes. You’ll notice a new color scheme and some layout changes, as well as a trimming of some fat. There were a lot of features that were just sort of fluff and didn’t do much to help you sell or find music. The main thing they did was give you a way to annoy people or just take up valuable space and confuse you. So we ditched a bunch of the superfluous junk that we added when we were in feature creep mode and have a much cleaner UI that is focused on providing you with the tools you need to sell or find music.

I hope you enjoy the changes. I for one think they’re refreshing. Let me know what you think.
