Ariel’s Top 6 Facebook Apps For Musicians

I am falling more in love with Facebook everyday. It never freezes up (like MySpace) and I can’t believe how many people who I NEVER saw online in MySpace are on Facebook. All of a sudden back in touch with my babysitter from grade school, a ton of college friends and high school friends and even some from high school who are not in the tech or the music business, which is very cool. Here are my favorite picks for Musicians when pimping out your Facebook profile!
 

1. Spot DJ
Play Your Tunes
 

This cool app allows you to create and share music mixes and playlists. It not only works on Facebook but you can also add it to MySpace, Hi5, your blog, and other social networks. You can also use it to email music mixes to friends. Wit looks great too – you can select if you want a cassette tape, a boom box, a bunny or a cupcake to display as your player.

2. Vod:Pod
Display Your Videos
 

I am a big advocate in creating small videos to share with your fans. Videos are an excellent viral marketing tool. This app is the easiest way to show your videos and your favorite videos. This is a good place to display backstage moments or live shows.

3. zuPort
Show Your Flickr
 

zuPort automatically imports your public Flickr photostream so you can show off even more photos to your friends. zuPort: Flickr keeps your sets, collections, tags, comments and everything else linked so you only have to update once

4. Twitter
Tweet Away and Have It Synched!
 

As you all know I am a huge Twitter evangelist. This amazing app allows you to update your tweets from Facebook and your Facebook from Twitter and your mobile phone…So you can be on the road but your facebook page can be updated from your van! Pretty Cool eh?

5. Newsfeed Blast
Get Your News Out
 

This app allows you to send a message out to all of your friends’ Feeds at the same time. Include up to 4 images with your News Feed story.
 

The best part is they’ll see it right on their main News Feed page when they log in.

6. iLike
Your Content on Many Platforms
 

They are the go to app for communicating your music to your fans.
 

They have widgets that allow you to update your tour dates on one play and they will show up on your MySpace, Bebo and many other social networks. You can share iTunes playlists with friends, get music picks and free MP3s to match your tastes and notify your fans when you (or your favorite artists are playing)
