M-Flow
Billed as a cross between i-Tunes and Twitter M-Flow is a new service where, once you have purchased a track you can forward it to your followers. They can listen once. If they purchase you get 20% of the purchase price as a credit towards buying more music.
Record companies are already using it to develop artist fan bases by direct fan contact. In addition you can follow people and receive what they have purchased and recommendations from them as to why.
Click on the image below for the M-Flow web site. Do you think that the 'social media' aspect of the site will prove popular with music fans?
