If you haven’t seen the news yet it’s now official – http://news.harmony-central.com/News/2005/HC-MF.html
It will be interesting to see how this changes things, last time they were owned by zZounds it didn’t work out.
They have started with one mistake already – they said in their announcement :
[quote]Harmony Central will continue to operate as an independent publisher and forum, providing the news, reviews, tech tips, resources, and musician-to-musician sharing of information that have made it the most popular music site on the web[/quote]This claim is simply wrong.
If you go to http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=ultimate-guitar.com you will see that Ultimate-Guitar.com has a reach per million users of 416.5 over the last 3 months, but harmony-central.com only has 242 – see http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=harmony-central.com
That means Ultimate-Guitar.com is nearly twice as popular as Harmony-central.com
Not a good start for Musician’s Friend…. what does everyone else think?
