BoneS - excellent questionnaire! I hope to see all future superstars share their talents through Uber. There is sooooo much talent here already, (with, I'm sure, more to come) and I know we have heard several superstars in the making. I personally have heard many talented bands share their music with us - thank you! I believe Uber is in it's infantile stages, and is set to make continual improvements until it is THE leading website for musicians. These things take time, and of course in the fast food pace of life, we all want instant access, success, etc., it is difficult to wait. That being said, time will tell. I hope that all of the very talented people involved in the YBTT contest will remain active Uberists and make this site all that it can be. Again, thank you BoneS for your contribution.

1. 3-I thought it was confusing at first not the editing but how to put up the video and featured pics that took me a while to figure it all out. But now that I know I think it is easy!
2. 3-That doesn't bother me either way!
3. 4- I think it is pretty cool music player because you get to design it the way you want and you get more then one choice.
4. 3- I thought the help files were alright. It didn't help me figure out how to fix my page by adding a video I finally just tried different modules and figured it out that way. Too bad I figured it out after the competition was over lol!
5. 4- thought it was pretty easy to upload files with the simple uploader. The other one I couldn't figure that out.
6.4. I think it was fair for the most part the only thing I thought was unfair was the fact you could vote more then once at the same computer until they changed it. Meaning alot of people were able to use more then one screenname and vote more then once a day. which cause alot of peoples vote to sky rocket. Then they changed that in the middle of the contest so some people were at a disfair advantage. But overall It was fair and the pick of the winners were fair.
7. 4- I think the rules were followed.
8. 5- updates were good!
9. 4- Alot of talented musicians who had their material together!
10. 5- I think uber is great!
11. 5- I will tell them it is a great way to promote your music and get discovered and learn alot from other fellow musicians.

2. 4 nice that there are no ads.

4) How do you rate the Uber help files? 3.5


5) Is it easy to upload files to your Uber site? 2, I found it 50/50 getting songs to upload

6) Was the YBTT contest fair? 4,For the most part, I'd say yes. I think there should have been an entry cut-off date. It left alot of people scrambling to make up lost time

7) Where the contest rules adhered to? 4 for the majority

8) How would you rate Uber updates? 4

9) What do think of the Uber music talent? 4.5 Everyone believes in their music, it's just a matter of taste

1) Is it easy to edit your page? 3, sometimes it's fussy, sometimes it works great!
2) Do you like that there are no advertisements on your page? 5 I love that we have the option of having either no advertisements or getting paid for having them on our pages.
3) How do you like the Uber music player to others? 4 - I noticed that on myspace you're more prone to listen to the music because it automatically starts playing and you know exactly where it's coming from. On uber you have to look for it and you might not turn it on.
4) How do you rate the Uber help files? I haven't looked at the uber help files. I tend to just figure stuff out through trial and error, but I'm sure they're great.
5) Is it easy to upload files to your Uber site? 2, I often have more problems than not and I usually have to upload stuff more than once to get it to work.
6) Was the YBTT contest fair? 4 - We'll see. :) I think so.
7) Where the contest rules adhered to? 3 - Probably not. There's always a bias and people find ways to work around rules.
8) How would you rate Uber updates? 5 - good! Things have improved and updates are regular.
9) What do think of the Uber music talent? 3 - Some good, some not so good to be honest.
10) Will you continue to use Uber? 4 - Yes. :)
11) What will you tell your friends about the Uber music sites? 5 - Come visit! It's a neat community!

1) Is it easy to edit your page? 4

2) Do you like that there are no advertisements on your page? 5

3) How do you like the Uber music player to others? 3
I'm not too crazy about the disappearing titles

4) How do you rate the Uber help files? 3
Kind of hard to find, but adequate once found.

5) Is it easy to upload files to your Uber site? 5
Uber and "PlentyOfBands.com" are both really easy

6) Was the YBTT contest fair? I'm waiting for the final results.

7) Were the contest rules adhered to? 1
So many violations here, that I can't even count them all.

8) How would you rate Uber updates? Were there any?

9) What do think of the Uber music talent? 1 to 5
This is truly a cornucopia of acts. Some are strawberries, some are brussels sprouts.

10) Will you continue to use Uber? 4
I like the video-centric layout we finally adopted. Since our band is really about the show, this gives an opportunity to show it off.

11) What will you tell your friends about the Uber music sites?
When you have hours with nothing to do, get some good tunes, and get some laughs or groans all in the same sitting (sort of like Am. Idol tryouts).

Your survey asks a number of questions I can answer in several sentences. First, I have found this site very difficult. It has taken away my vote box, has refused to get the music player working, does not load the more modern MP4s, nor have I found that in the same time I have been on My Space I have accumulated 25 times as many friends & fans. So I am not impressed with this site. Sorry to take a negative line but I feel if others are going to be able to navigate this site some major changes need to be made.

1) Is it easy to edit your page? 2.5. It's ok, but it sucks when certain parts of you page are deleted, or you can't find the page you designed. Also, more html would be nice.

2) Do you like that there are no advertisements on your page? 5. Absolutely. Where do they find the money?

3) How do you like the Uber music player to others? 4. It's adequate. There's nothing special about it, but it's simple to use.

4) How do you rate the Uber help files? N/A I've never really used them.

5) Is it easy to upload files to your Uber site? 4. Like Ice said, I've had no trouble but I've heard about trouble.

6) Was the YBTT contest fair? 3. Ice posted a list of most of my complaints. I feel like cheating was MOSTLY absent, but I didn't like how the authorities treated us.

7) Where the contest rules adhered to? 2. By the contestants, mostly. By the judges, HELL NO.

8) How would you rate Uber updates? N/A I don't think I've been on here long enough to say, but when my page gets fried and I can't fix it, I don't like that.

9) What do think of the Uber music talent? 5. Not only is everyone talented, they're really suppotive of each other.

10) Will you continue to use Uber? Yeah, probably. It's easier to get exposure than on MySpace.

11) What will you tell your friends about the Uber music sites? If they're musicians, I'll tell them to check out ourstage.com and reverbnation.com first. If they want a cool looking website instead, I'll send them here.

1) Is it easy to edit your page?
Note: 3 (Tools are great but not often as easy as they should, rendition of pages strongly differ from browser to browser. The ability to host all your files for free is absolutely amazingly helpful when creating a page. Uber should accept more HTML, Java and Flash embedding)

2) Do you like that there are no advertisements on your page?
Note: 5 (I'm not here to sell someone's stuff but just to show my music)

3) How do you like the Uber music player to others?
Note: 4 (Great player but text inside (playlist) should be bigger. Maybe some animated fixtures like visualisations plugins?)

4) How do you rate the Uber help files?
Note: 2.5 (Some are great but some are really too minimalistic. Helpfile not always up to date)

5) Is it easy to upload files to your Uber site?
Note: 4 (I haven't encountered problem but know that some did)

6) Was the YBTT contest fair?
Note: 2.5 (Well, lot to say about it but shortly: announcement of the finalists before the end of the contest, Michael Steele's post erased, Element115's 700 votes wiped out, Drake's whining/bashing, Top 10 finalist not in the Top100 and poor explanation of Michael Steele with post deleted and no further information about if this finalist's selection is valid, votes still counting after the end of the voting period, judges and Uber not following their own rules, suspicions of cheating not clearly addressed and explained, no moderator on the contest board,... But, the great majority of the contestants were fair to each other, and even more, helpful, friendly, open-minded and more: see all that great comments exchanged during the contest)

7) Where the contest rules adhered to?

8) How would you rate Uber updates?
Note: 3 (Some updates are really amazing and some are catastrophic:you cannot access directly one of your other page than your profile page, poor notifications of updates)

9) What do think of the Uber music talent?
Note: 5 (There are so many talented people in the community. I've met some great musicians who care not only about themselves but also about you)

10) Will you continue to use Uber?
Note: 2.5 (I love the platform, the tools given to show your best profile and overall the awesome community but I'm still waiting for the YBTT issues to be clearly discussed and explained ; I hate cheaters)

11) What will you tell your friends about the Uber music sites?
Note: 0 or 5 (See above: I already had definitely advised my fellow musicians friends about the versatility of Uber but I like it to be fair. Uber HAVE to do a community portal site where we can gather and exchange: this is what Uber Music should be!)

Thanks for asking, BoneS, hope this will help to make Uber a better place to live.

IceSixxx ;-)
