Napster Goes Social With Facebook, Twitter & More
Napster has also added Facebook Instant Personalization so that users can “Like” artists, music and playlists. Tracks now have share buttons nearby that post to Facebook and Twitter. Friends and followers can listen to listen to the shared songs free even though Napster requires a monthly subscription.
Check out the new Napster and tell us what you think.
Just as an aside, it’s very interesting and also very strange from a linguistic’s point of view what has happened with the connotations that the word “social” in the digital world. I don’t want to elaborate here, but there should be quite a few social scientists that do some research on the subject at the time.
