Details of my Upcoming Project (mygighistory.com)
Wow, I can't believe it has been 16 days since my last post it doesn't feel like that at all!
The long hours I’ve spent sitting at the computer have been spent solely on 'the gig database/social networking site' - which does have a name: My Gig History (or should that be mygighistory?) and naturally it'll be placed on mygighistory.com. There's nothing there yet though…
"I'm not too keen on the name"
When I first started the site over a year ago (I seem to work on it in bursts every 3/4 months) it was to be a site for listing all the gigs you've been to and of course you could add any gigs you were going to in the future.
After the first night of working on it, and after purchasing the domain name, I was having ideas to make it more complicated like notification of band gigs, RSS, venues, cities, groups, forums, friends, see who's going etc. and so it quickly changed direction in to being more a social networking site based around gigs and for the people who go to them!
It's not finished yet…
There's still a bit of work to do to smooth some areas of the site over but the majority of it is seems to be working.
I'm hoping to get it up and running either this weekend or early next week for public testing as there are bound to be errors somewhere along the line and it's not possible for me to find them all! I'm still yet to decide on whether to give users invites, thus 'limiting' the amount of sign ups while (ideally) creating a bit of buzz, or have it 'welcome to all comers'.
I'll be updating the blog in a few days with details on what the site will contain…
