Facebook is working on an artist platform to be launched later this year, which in essence is supposed to be better than what MySpace allows with its platform, “multiple sources” told Yahoo! Finance. The platform will allow bands and labels to create artists pages, and allow various widgets to be embedded for music promotion, organizing events, etc.
Among those widgets would be iLike, the most popular app inside Facebook, but will also include iTunes widgets for sampling (to being with), and eventually buying music through Apple’s online store, says Yahoo! Finance. The service will “still have the utilitarian sensibilities of the Facebook platform, the sources stress, rather than the more chaotic and flashy platform that MySpace has,” the article adds.
Submissions are being taken for the “Macsimum Macworld San Francisco 2008 Coupon Book.” For details email Dennis at daseller@earthlink.net
