It's our profound honor to announce that RockDex has been chosen as one of the five winners of the FlashFWD campaign presented by the digital music and social media-focused network SoundCtrl and by Pepsico.

We join Indaba Music, Hype Machine, Big Live and Jingle Punks in receiving this distinction. These are all excellent endeavors run by great people.

As SoundCtrl's official announcement explains, the campaign sought companies with the following qualities.

• Is in line with the SoundCtrl initiatives and mission
• Solves a problem in the industry (in other words, is it a game changing idea?)
• Fosters community
• Has reached scale or the board believes can reach scale
• Has commercial viability

For us, this is huge. Knowing that the people at SoundCtrl, as well as the community who voted for us, view us as a company that meets these criteria is deeply encouraging. We also thank the sponsors, Pepsico and Eventbrite, for supporting all the musical innovators who participated in the contest.

We'll join our fellow honorees next week in Austin at the First Annual FlashFwd SXSW event on Tuesday March 16 from 5 to 10 p.m.

Onward and upward!
