Amplified.FM
2011 is projected as being the year of location-based, niche social networking websites. Amplified.FM burrows itself deep in Burlington, Vermont's section of the intertubes, bringing a grassroots approach to music distribution. By promoting live music via studio music, Amplified.FM is able to help fans find live music before their friends rave about a show they missed.
Head over to Amplified.FM's Live Music Calendar, specific to Burlington, VT, to download studio albums from artists with upcoming shows in the area. Not interested in downloading music? Amplified.FM still serves as a great resource for viewing all Burlington live music in one location.
Amplified.FM is still under development, although many features (such as the blog featuring show reviews, artist interviews, concert photos, and more) are currently available. If you're based in Burlington, you can grab a beta invitation, or take a sneak peek here:
When logged into Amplified.FM, you'll first be presented with a dashboard showcasing two main sections: your next scheduled upcoming show and a neighborhood feed.
Your Next Upcoming Show
Amplified.FM aims to make it as easy as possible to see what friends are attending your planned shows or invite friends to shows you plan on attending. By showcasing your next show right on your dashboard, Amplified.FM helps its members carpool, meet up, and share upcoming shows organically.
Your Neighborhood
What if there was a news feed completely focused around music? That's what Your Neighborhood is all about. At a glance, you'll be able to see what music your friends are downloading, what new shows friends are attending, and much more.
