Users Can Display Music Taste, Brands Can Permeate Social NetworksFRANKLIN, Tenn. -- Media distribution developer
PassAlong Networks™ today launched
Rostr™, a customizable and interactive Web playlist widget that enables artists, labels, fans and brands to extend their reach into social networks while offering users a unique tool for displaying their music tastes.
“
Rostr is great for companies wanting to extend their brand by having a presence on social networking sites like MySpace™, Facebook and Friendster,” said Dave Jaworski, co-founder and CEO of
PassAlong Networks. “Music lovers can make the
Rostr playlist widget their own and list their favorite songs for everyone to see and hear.”
Rostr allows users to create and display a list of songs they want to exhibit on their social network profile page or on their blog. Visitors can listen to samples of the listed songs and then follow links to where they can purchase the showcased tracks. Users can customize the widget with a variety of colors and by allowing friends to rate and comment on their music selection, while visitors can easily click-through to create their own
Rostr playlist widget or duplicate an existing widget.
In addition to
Rostr,
PassAlong recently launched a series of co-branded OnTour® widgets featuring artists like Barenaked Ladies, Alicia Keys, Mario, Cassidy and others. To access the
Rostr widget go to
ROSTR: Share Your Music With the World, to access the OnTour widgets go to
www.ontour.net.
Rostr is an Adobe® Flash® Web-based widget that can be incorporated into any social network profile that accepts HTML code.
Rostr can also be adapted to other forms of media or commerce and can be branded for any company or promotion.
