Rumors of a Facebook Music Store
Facebook Music store? It sounds interesting.
I found this article last night while browsing around:
Ars Technica reports: As anyone who has held up a lighter alongside friends during a second encore can tell you, social networking and music are meant to sing together. MySpace reminded everyone of its roots last month with the launch of MySpace Music, and inside sources say that Facebook may finally rock out with its own duet soon.
Music has always been one of MySpace’s shining features, so well-known that it’s part of a supposed social networking divide. Long before News Corp. purchased it, MySpace became the place for independent–and increasingly mainstream–musicians to build a community with their fans. Now, with last month’s introduction of a 5 million-strong catalog of downloadable and streamable songs from all the major labels and (arguably not enough) indies, MySpace finally took its next logical leap into becoming a full-blown social hub for music.
Do you think that a Facebook music store will give Itunes a run for its money?
