Music services provider Shazam has announced the launch of a Facebook application that enables Shazam users to access recent songs they have identified using Shazams mobile service on their personal Facebook profile, and share their favourite tracks with friends.
The Shazam application is available via the Shazam website (www.shazam.com) and on the Facebook application directory. Registration is free and simple. All users need to do is enter their name and mobile phone number so that the Facebook application can synchronise with their mobile Shazam account. Once registered, users can display recent Song iDs on their Facebook profile, view others iD lists, and share music with friends. Users can also view the Shazam iD Chart, a compilation of every song that is iDd throughout the week.
Social networks are fundamentally changing the way people discover, purchase and consume music, says Shazam CEO, Andrew Fisher. Whether they are used to share and recommend music, reflect a persons mood or personality, or communicate music tastes, it is clear that they offer tremendous value. We are thrilled to be announcing Shazams Facebook application and are confident it will offer our users an even richer, more engaging music experience.
Shazam enables music fans to use their mobile phone to identify, purchase and interact with music. More than 11 million people have used Shazams mobile services since launch. The company is extending its global footprint, launching services in 25 new countries, giving it coverage across 45 markets in all major territories including the US, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
