Musicians Creating Their Own Social Networking Hubs
More and more musicians are taking a step away from popular social networking sites such as MySpace -- which has long been known for the presence of bands and aspiring recording artists -- and are creating their own social networking sites. Why the relocation? Having fans come to their own site instead of a third party site gives musicians more control, access to fans' email addresses, and more options for directly contacting users. The proprietary sites aren't meant to replace a Facebook or MySpace presence, but to augment it.
