Shoutmouth.com Launches Internet's Most Comprehensive Music News Community
Community members gain access to daily coverage of nearly 1,000 artists.
New York (Billboard Publicity Wire) February 22, 2007 -- Shoutmouth today announced the launch of Shoutmouth.com, the most comprehensive music news community on the Internet. Shoutmouth.com offers daily music news on nearly 1,000 popular music artists, filling a void in today's music news industry.
"Music news should reflect individual musical taste," said Pete Kennedy, co-founder of Shoutmouth. "Most websites cover only the top ten music stories each day -- the stories with mass appeal. That type of generic coverage does not satisfy the needs of serious music fans."
"When you look at most people's iPods, they're listening to many different artists and genres of music," explained Kennedy. "We think that music fans should be able to read news on all their favorite artists the same way that they scroll through songs on their iPods. That's why we created Shoutmouth.com."
News stories that appear on Shoutmouth.com are gathered from hundreds of online news sources. Shoutmouth staff and community members have the ability to hand pick the articles, offer their insight and publish them. Shoutmouth editors ensure that all stories are properly classified by artist and genre, and that duplicate articles are filtered out. To ensure accuracy, all articles source the website on which the news was originally reported.
By publishing more than 500 articles each week, Shoutmouth.com allows music fans to stay updated on their favorite artists. In addition to providing the daily news, Shoutmouth.com offers community members the ability to:
- Create personal profiles
- Interact with other members
- Provide comments on news stories
- Submit news stories
- Recommend new music artists to add to the community
- Receive customized news and email alerts on their favorite artists
Shoutmouth's founders see Shoutmouth.com as part of a broader movement in the music and news communities to give consumers more control.
