April 2, 2003: With the demise of Rocket Network early this year, things may seem gloomy for online music collaboration. Was the idea, which started way back in the mid 90's in the form of Res Rocket (and the world's first online band, Res Rocket Surfer), really too far ahead of it's time? Or has the real killer app just not been found?

The intention of this site is discover what people are doing to make collaborating via the Internet a reality. The site will take shape, from this humble beginning, over time, and will depend on quality feedback from those who are interested in the subject. For the time being, please send any thoughts and suggestions to myself, Mike Schell, at mschell (+) virtualnoise.com
