Facebook May Launch iTunes Competitor
AllFaceBook, the unofficial Facebook blog has multiple sources
confirming that Facebook is exploring the launch their own music download store. The company is apparently interviewing possible senior staff.
Just as music is a vehicle for Starbucks to extend time spent in their coffeehouses and further monetize each visit, a download store and music destination could do the same for Facebook.
This was ineveitable. I’m interested in seeing how they plan on enticing users to buy the music. Sure, the store will be there, but will people spend money?
