Where is the fun in waiting until something happens before you predict it will happen? I'm just speculating, but Ovation probably started the speculation to get some sort of hype built up. As someone suggested, it better not be a bust like "IT" was with the Segway. |

They would not announce a factory tour on Facebook, unless they wanted 1000 attendees.
My guess would be that they will annouce the launch of a new modernized website. Fender has a great site and obviously knows how to throw money at it. Guilds site was recently redone and is also very nice. Ovation is long past due for the overhaul.
Just my guess. |

Just my guess. That's what I thought the instant I read the message as well. "Long past due" is one of the great understatements on this board when referring to the website.
Still, as long as the announcement involves building more O's in New Hartford, I'll be plenty content. :cool: |

Life's too short to waste it talking to people when you're busy doing other things. Life's too short to waste it watching some foolishness on TV. Life's too short to waste it talking to people you've never met on some websi...oh. Never mind. |

I was a bore before I was an attorney, and that "it takes one to know one" saying applies here. |

You guys NEED to make a short video of your killer O's and post them on the NEW Ovation website coming to a computer, smart phone and iPad near you........ We'll be in touch as my travel plans are finalized. In the mean time - keep rockin on those O's 'cause I need ya'll to teach me some cool chops......

I barely have time to check out the OFC and Takamine forum. |

The same people who want you to believe you shouldn't have a Facebook account because of security worries are the same people who bury their money in coffee cans in the back yard. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | stonebobbo is correct. Facebook has succeeded in Social Networking where MySpace, Beebo, LinkeIN, Blogster, Friendster, Buzznet, Classmates, MyYearBook, and 100's of others failed list of Social Networking sites .
Their security is actually quite good, but for some reason, people continue to treat their personal information in cyberspace differently than they would in the real world. You would no sooner leave your ID card, family photos AND keys in your unlocked car of a crowded, unattended parking lot... but people do the cyber equivalent all the time.
In the latest incarnation of Facebook, you select who can and cannot see your information which is an option better than most offer.
Referring to Facebook as a "web page," while possibly technically accurate... it is not. Facebook is a tool to access your online social network. You need not use Facebook, there are 100's of other tools to access your online social network. However, I think Facebook is one of the easiest and safest.
Ning, Classmates and others have become ways to segregate our online social networks. As with the Ovation FanClub's Ning site, it's a network of Ovation Fans... but, as example, that is a small part of many peoples online Social Network.
Hmmm an Idea pre-amp with a facebook and youTube interface to immediately update facebook and post audio to YouTube from your guitar :) |
