iLike Launches Music Application on Facebook Platform

At Facebook's f8 event, iLike has unveiled a social music application built on Facebook Platform, a platform that enables companies and developers to build applications that are deeply integrated into the Facebook website. The iLike music application lets Facebook users worldwide add music to their profiles, discover new music, and learn about upcoming concerts and which of their friends are attending. The iLike application is automatically personalized for the millions of Facebook users based on the existing music tastes and friendships that they've already defined on their Facebook profile.

iLike's music application enables Facebook users to:
- Learn when one of their favorite artists is going on tour in their area, and see who among their Facebook friends will be attending.
- Search and add streaming music from their favorite artists to their Facebook profile.
- Discover new music by following what their friends like and via personalized recommendations of free MP3s.

Facebook has launched Facebook Platform, a development platform that enables companies and engineers to integrate with Facebook and gain access to millions of users. Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and the people around them. With more than 24 million active users, Facebook is the sixth-most trafficked website in the United States. More than 50 percent of Facebook users return to the site each day, providing unparalleled distribution potential for applications and the opportunity to build a business that is highly relevant to people's lives.
