The folks over at Minimum Noise have created a collaboration site for musicians, where one can either seek help to complete a music project, or get paid for producing/mixing, singing, or playing an instrument.

So far, I believe the monetary rewards are probably too small, but if people do this in their spare time maybe this could take off anyway.

It’s still cool :)

It’s Series A had been closed in 2006 with $5:.

This is great news for the online advertising market, and it’s a good way for the startup environment to start 2009 after a grim 2008, with only six venture-backed companies going in the year.

I’m no fool, there’s still a global financial crisis going on, and competition will be hard, but good companies with a solid business model will get funded.
