there’s a lot going on with the networks – but there’s also a lotta crap as well…feel free to check out an article i wrote about this very subject for competitive intelligence magazine (from scip.org)

(There will be a button to press to hear a 30 sec clip)

This is rad. We’ll finally see some of Parakey’s technology. Users can login to Facebook to access there music from anywhere and it will be all synced to your local PC. I’m stoked.

I see this going the same route as the yahoo music store.

Why waste the time and money when they can simply partner with iTunes? There isn’t much money in the sale of MP3s, so why not just concentrate on expanding sources of revenue through partnerships.

On another note, I’m surprised Apple hasn’t add more social networking functionality to iTunes. I’m not saying that it should be like facebook or myspace, but you should be able to access a reviewer/commenter’s reviews on other albums easily. I think if you can get people actively using the app longer, then you will increase sales.

New Zune comes out, they have some stake in Facebook, music offered to the Facebook masses with emphasis on using the Zune, $$$$.

The numbers are a little more subtle than that. Facebook only tracks active users per day, so an app which has the same 10k users coming to the app every day is in some sense “less active” than an app which has 5k users per day, but a different 5k users, even though Facebook would say they’re twice as active.

By total users iLike is actually #9.
