What is www.TopOfGuitar.com?

www.TopOfGuitar.com is a social bookmark site specialized on guitar content. It follows the same concept as popular sites such as Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com, Delicious.com, etc. to mention some examples. People submit links related to guitar topics and visitors vote for the best material. At the end, the most popular links are displayed. For more details, click here.

Why did you start www.TopOfGuitar.com?

I'm passionate about guitar and have been for more than 20 years; the same time I've been an active guitar player. Although there are great guitar web sites out there , I haven't seen one that resembles the most popular social bookmark sites.
On the other hand, these popular sites are not specialized on the topics guitar players want to see. As a guitar player myself, I think I know what other guitar players look for when surfing the web!

How do I add a bookmark to www.TopOfGuitar.com?

Adding a bookmark is a simple, 2 step process. It starts by clicking on the "Add a Bookmark!" tab on the top bar. Step One consists of entering the address of the site. In Step Two you'll enter additional information and that's it! For more details, click here.

Why Beta?

This site just went live on November 2008. Like any other piece of new software, it's subject to a stabilization period. Beta version means I will be fine tuning it to better serve its users. I will be adding new functionality as well, so stay tuned!

Are you planning to add new features to www.TopOfGuitar.com?

Yes, I am. This is just the beginning. There is still a long way before this site reaches the point I would like it to.

I provide professional services related to guitar. Can I post a link to my website on www.TopOfGuitar.com?

Yes, you can. As long as you comply with the Terms of Use of this site. Among other restrictions, please don't post links or comments to affiliate programs, multi-level marketing or material NOT related to GUITAR content.

Can I advertise on www.TopOfGuitar.com?

Not for the moment. However, I'm planning to add functionality that will allow advertisement. If you're interested, please let me know by submitting your message here.

Can I add a www.TopOfGuitar.com button to my site?

Not for the moment. This is something I will surely add as www.TopOfGuitar.com evolves. Please let me know your suggestions here.

Can I post nudity or porn content?

No, please don't. This would violate the Terms of Use of this site. The same goes for any material that is offensive, abusive, profane or that can be considered inappropriate, as stated in the Terms of Use.
As a user, if you see any content that does not comply with the Terms of Use, please let us know by sending a message here.

I just saw a link that I find offensive. What should I do?

You have two options. One is clicking on the "Comments" section of that link and click on "Mark as Not Guitar Related" if that's the case. The other option is to let me know by clicking here. Please include the link you're referring to in the comment itself. Me and the rest of the users will appreciate your feedback to make www.TopOfGuitar.com the best experience possible.

Can other users see my negative votes?

No. In the future they will be able to see content other users liked. I'm assuming some people wouldn't feel comfortable with making their negative votes public, so www.TopOfGuitar.com will not display that information.
