Duh... like a blog ping server. Right!

Hi Jeff,
I'm not sure exactly what problem you're trying to solve, but it
sounds like what you really want is a "ping server" (or a few) that
people can, well, "ping" to announce availability of new content.
There's scalability issues, but as far as I can tell that's the only
way to generate any sort of meaningful "announce" postings.

I've been thinking and researching for a solution to a problem
independent artists have on the web. Because of the loss of the
MP3.COM community, and the diaspora of OMD's online musicians have
been dispersed and now find themselve unable to easily 'announce'
their new works to other music creators and consumers.
I've proposed at my blog, htttp://beepsnort.org a use of
del.iciou.us tags to help in this process - (A Proposal for
Announcing New Music Recordings on the Nethttp://beepsnort.org/
archives/000402.html) but now I'm beginning to think that
microformats might be needed in order to additionally create a
discovery phase of this announcement process. Also, my use of the
example, mp3_classical_contemporary tag, would probably eventually
lead to an over-abundance of announcements and pseudo-announcements
as the community began using it. (Admittedly its a hack approach
but does auto-generate podcasts hehe).
Is there an implicit announcement mechanism built in already that
I'm missing? Any research projects about how to 'announce'? I'm
looking for practical solutions for the thousands of online musicians.
I'm thinking at the moment of tying in my del.icio.us tag
announcement with a discovery mechanism through uf's. If I trigger
the discovery by an email list I think only spam will result.
Any ideas or suggestions?
