Proposing a new, free access to music business model, this ad-free music-based social networking site promises to fuse the best elements of iTunes and Twitter in one site with a new approach - and potential financial kickbacks for its users. Read on.......
You can follow the profiles of friends, artists and record labels and receive full-length previews of any tracks they decide to "flow" your way. Flowing is a "click and recommend to your followers" process, which they say provides better results than the computer-based "related artists" or "genius" systems used by other competitor services. And with this particular community, if a follower buys a track you've flowed their way, then you get a financial reward! 20% of the purchase price is credited to your account and can be used against your own music purchases.
The full-length previews are a great feature and a host of respected labels have already signed up to the service - including Sony, Universal, and respected indies like Domino, Skint, Freerange, and Wall of Sound. A mobile version is due to be released later in the year, which should also help aid your musical digestion. The only slight downside is that, for the time being, the site is available to UK users only.
