I recently uploaded my songs to a site called 'zoo qoo' - it's a site with a difference created for us creative folk to publish and promote. I've already received interest from a number of users including a record company exec who wants to meet me to talk out a contract. This is part due to their in-house agents programme. I'm positive that niche sites are the way forward well beyond these big fish who continually swallow other fish. Anyway check out my songs at www.zooqoo.com/robmarr and let me know what you think via their feedback section. Over and out. Why is everyone talking about the big fish all the time?

Who cares. All the real music is still out there on CD. Who cares if you can buy from itunes or facebook? Let's hope if this is true that Facebook actually offer proper mp3s that work on real mp3 players. I hate itunes and ipods with a passion and would hate to see facebook release something similar.

What FB should due to entice iTunes users is offer a trade in program for their "used music". This will get people to try the service and swap DRM music for DRM free music. @sebastian - if the Zune worked with a FB music store, I would switch.

They like dictating to users how to operate equipment that users have spent their own money on. (DivX on AppleTV, iPhone on Verizon, etc) So how are they different to MS? Yes they are far better product+interface designers, but they still take the living piss out of the consumer! So why will the consumers "go Hurraaaaa!!!"? Only because Apple are good with the ol' brainwash marketing techniques. You iPod worshippers and 'ardcore Mac users should be ashamed of yourselves. @elvirs - Apple are just as bad!!!

And, by the way, Amie Street should let the artists decide the ceiling on their song price. If someone wants it to be zero, let it be zero. Amie street can judge popularity of a song by downloads, instead of necessarily raising the price. Apple getting FB? Unless that integrates with the iPhone (such as you can know if a friend is nearby, or you can broadcast your profile in a bar, and see the girls´ ones).. then maybe. Otherwise it doesn´t make much sense... FB doesn´t integrate with .mac so well. But apple is indeed kind of lost in the web2 space.

All these money charging sites are just as bad as the record companies. Myspace was revolutionary in cutting the slack of bringing music from artists to users. If Facebook tries to earn a mass profit out of selling music..well then we have another giant capitalist, with no user added value. Keep music pure and as far away from commercialism as possible. That way we can prevent low quality musicians from the charts. Let’s face it, music is about the artists and listeners. All these money charging sites are just as bad as the record companies.

Zuckerberg & company are getting free product development ideas from existing apps. If they see one they like, they copy it basically killing the existing app. It works out great for Facebook. If you are serious about building a startup, go at it alone. Build your own userbase with a good product/service instead of trying to hitch a shortcut on the Facebook traffic wagon. My prediction is once the initial F8 platform hype dies down, real apps will avoid F8. Startups that build on the facebook platform are suckers.
