Austinist Alert: Austin Music + Entertainment Magazine launches new website

With local entities beefing up their websites left and right, there’s no reason Austin Music + Entertainment Magazine shouldn’t be a part of the revolution. The glossy, free magazine recently launched its sleek new website -- Where Bands and Fans Collide -- featuring an assortment of nifty tools. Bands are encouraged to create their own (free) profile on the site, and post updates, stream mp3s and videos, provide pictures, sell merchandise, create press kits, and interact with fans. Fans can also create profiles, and have the capability to post blogs, add events, generate personalized listening stations, and what not.

As Austin Music + Entertainment itself puts it, “Social networking on the web moves fast. You've already got a MySpace page, YouTube videos and so many more to keep you going, pushing your sound, name, and product. But what if you could take it to the next step up and combine all of those together? With your profile you can stream your videos directly from those sites on your new—targeted profile at www.austinme.com.”
