I sort of like the idea of Blend, especially since I'm a Live and Maschine user primarily, but I'm not sure how I feel about Yet Another Social Network tacked on to the rest of the product. I get that it helps with discovery of potential collaborators, but if you already know people you want to work with and simply need a solution to keep everyone's files up to date, the whole "cred" thing seems it would just be a distraction. Bitwig (http://www.bitwig.com http://www.bitwig.com) was founded by a team of former Ableton developers who aim to offer network collaboration (both local and remote) natively in their DAW, though that product is still in private beta at the moment.
