Songkick; concertos ao vivo ("symantic web")

British Internet startup Songkick launched Wednesday with a vow to inspire digital-age music lovers to reclaim the joy of hearing bands play hot in real-world venues. The London-based website debuts with a free online utility that matches people's tastes in music with the schedules of bands performing in the US or UK. (...) Songkick cofounder Ian Hogarth told AFP during an interview in San Francisco."The music industry isn't dying; it is just moving to live. People really value that real-world experience. We are focused on using the web to make people get off the web and in front of a band." Songkick's goal is to make it as simple to find live music as it is to find out which movies are playing at local theaters. (...)Songkick struck alliances with all major concert ticket vendors in the United States and United Kingdom, compiling a database of scheduled performances and getting fees for each customer sent their ways. Songkick uses "symantic web" software to scan the Internet for references to bands in blogs, social-networking pages and other online commentary. (...) For example, if a blogger likens the band Linkin Park to Limp Bizkit the software notes that for future recommendations to Songkick users that enjoy either of the groups.»

Guau, no conocía a Songkick, gracias por el enlace. Me será util pues que es raro que pueda irme a conciertos o que las bandas que me gusten pasen por mi ciudad.
