Acoustic Guitar magazine online community
Acoustic Guitar magazine has launched a social networking site specifically for… well, acoustic guitarists.
The site is called Acoustic Guitar Community, and offers many of the features familiar to users of such culture-shifting sites as Facebook or MySpace. Members create a customized home page, and can post blogs, photos, videos and events viewable by other members, who they can contact directly inside the network.
Members can also add applications to their profile page, many of which are identical – or nearly so – to ones in common use on Facebook and MySpace. The difference, of course, is that the entire environment is dedicated to guitars and guitar players.
Like the other popular social networking sites, membership is free and, as of this writing, is up to nearly 4,000 strong.
