| Rumor: Facebook to Launch MP3 Store? Facebook is reportedly readying to launch an iTunes competitor and is actively pursuing deals with a number of record labels. All Facebook reports that the company is also looking to hire a CEO to head the new division, and has been working on the project since March. Launching a music store would make sense for Facebook, especially if they can follow the DRM-free model recently unveiled by Amazon. The site has tens of millions of potential customers, and there are surely some clever social angles Facebook could put on a music store. Currently, the music scene on Facebook is dominated by third party apps such as iLike. We will see if anything materializes here, or if this proves as baseless as the rumor that the “Where I’ve Been” Facebook app was sold to TripAdvisor for $3 million. | |||

I'm sure there are the ones that would love this but I don't think it will be as successful as they want it to be. They are all about other applications right now, everyone has one which is fine but I see this all dying out pretty soon when people move on to something else and/or just get sick of the younger kids taking over everything (which is extremely irritating, especially on facebook!) | |
