A friend of ours just went live with a new site that we think is pretty special. HumbleVoice.com

Here's what the site is all about:

"Awww yeah. You found Humble Voice.

Operating as a brand new community of artists aptly housed on the websitewww.humblevoice.com, Humble Voice offers a variety of inspired features geared toward both local and widespread audiences to view and create artist profiles. Each anomalous profile offers ample views of photography, art, film, writing or music. By creating a profile, one can upload, maintain and manage not only a community of friends and family, but also a vantage point to share your own artistic creations in whichever form they may abound.

Outstanding new features include calendars to track local readings, art
shows, band performances and community events. Each artist community homepage contains featured artists, each day's top listened to/viewed/read creations as well as a shout out to the newest members of each community. Members can manipulate their own profiles by uploading a profile photograph, their own art of any and all kinds, basic biographical information, messages and friends' profiles as well as unique-to-the-site features with bulletin boards, commentary, featured texts, blog space, and community actions and photos.

Humble Voice proudly advertises its "earn points" feature on the site,
which basically goes something like this: make a profile, upload loads of
your art, writing, music, etcetera, make friends, browse communities, tag favorite bands and artists, earn points and redeem them for great
merchandise and special offers. Not only is Humble Voice a great way for artists to make connections with other artists in the same or different fields, it also allows for the same (but better!) friend correspondence as rival sites.

Humble Voice is geared toward you - made by artists for artists. It's not
just your space."
