Introduction
Musicheaven.gr was established in 1997 by a schoolboy who loved music. His idea was to exchange information about music with other people who deal with music; either they play or write music or generally have knowledge about it.

As the years went by musicheaven grew to one of the largest music social networks in Greece, but not only that. It is also an e-zine.

As a social network it relies on members. The demographics of musicheaven are men and women of all ages, who speak and write Greek. The majority of the users are musicians, professional or amateur. Members are also some known artists. And of course anyone who likes to listen to music and wants to find out more things can also become a member.

Sections
The site has many sections in order to satisfy the needs of its content and its members.
•    Magazine: it’s interactive. Its users write the articles or interviews. Then the operations team checks them in terms of dictation, grammar, syntax and content and then it is published.  The magazine has subsections, such as interviews, biographies, poems, short tales/novels and more.
•    Forum: it’s divided into categories and subcategories. An example is the musicheaven category where members find news about the site, meetings, and technical issues.
•    Chat room
•    Music pages where artists and musicians can inform other members and advertise their work. It is like a link to another web page provided by the site.
