WaTunes launch Facebook app
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 8 April 2010
WaTunes, a US-based “social music service” which I don’t really get (I think they offer a range of online preview and sell-through services for both artists and fans), has launched a music store app for Facebook. The WaTunes app will be the first time Facebook users have been able to buy music via the market leading social network. The widget will also enable people to preview and recommend tunes.
WaTunes top man Kevin Rivers told CMU: “Music Store is truly a remarkable achievement. We are very excited to be able to bring the WaTunes Marketplace in front of Facebook’s 400 million users. For the first time, everyone can download music from Facebook without leaving the site. If a user wants to suggest an album to a friend, they are able to do it instantly. Music Store is the perfect solution for sharing and buying music on Facebook”.
