Artists
New Wave of OnTour Widgets Showcases RCA Artists Alicia Keys, Cassidy
And More
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 28, 2007 --
Music distribution developer
PassAlong Networks™ today launched a series of
co-branded OnTour® widgets featuring several
major RCA Music Group artists including Alicia
Keys, Cassidy, Mario
and Scary Kids, Scaring Kids.
Fans can copy, customize and paste these widgets onto their profile
pages on social networking sites like MySpace™
and Friendster, as well as blogs, homepages and personal websites.
“We are excited to partner with RCA to offer
fans OnTour widgets showcasing some of their favorite artists,”
said Dave Jaworski, co-founder and CEO of PassAlong Networks. “With
upcoming tours, we plan to announce new widgets featuring even more
artists in the near future.”
The co-branded widgets will be featured on the artists’
websites and profiles and will load their tour information, discography
with MP3 sample player and RSS news items. The widgets can further be
used as live and recorded music search engines. Users can enter their
own city and discover when artists are coming into town. The widget
includes an MP3 sample player that enables users to discover new music,
allows easy sharing of events and music via Friendster, and provides
links to ticket information and online music stores.
“The OnTour co-branded widgets give fans the
opportunity to promote their favorite artists on websites across the Web,”
said Chris Boghigian of RCA Music Group. “This
is a fantastic tool that allows fans to connect with some of our most
prominent artists on a unique and personal level.”
OnTour is an award-winning
service which ensures fans “Never Miss a
Concert Again!®”
by matching fans’ favorite artists with a
concert database through a series of products and the www.OnTour.net
website, where more extensive concert information is available including
venue maps, artist information and ticket purchasing links. The
co-branded versions are flash-based Web widgets created using Adobe®
Flex™ 2.0.
