FameCast announced today the dates and named 60 finalists after three months of competition. Eight of those finalists are from Austin. There are 5 top acts in each of 12 categories. The winner in each category will go on to a final for a chance to win $10,000 and become the "Famecast Fenom."

We wrote about FameCast back in June when they announced that they raised $4.5M from Austin Ventures. A brief look at the Alexa traffic graph shows some major bumps in traffic at the beginning of June and again in mid July. But there is certainly no distinct trend from the lower left to the upper right hand corner. Although should FameCast achieve some kind of tipping point in popularity, or have one of their performances go viral, they could be spending all that cash on bandwidth. It’s rumored in the early days of YouTube that they spent $1M per month on bandwidth. We wish this same problem upon FameCast!
