| BroadClip's New Facebook Application Delivers Free, Unlimited Music for iPods and Cell Phones BroadClip has demoed a new Facebook plug-in application that gives Facebook users the ability to fill their portable media players with unlimited DRM-free music - legally. This new application, presented at the TechCrunch40 event, builds on the success of the FaceBook.com social networking web site, which boasts over 24 million daily users. The MediaCatcher application is available to all Facebook users for free. Broadclip was chosen as one of the 40 hottest new startups from over 700 applicants from around the world by industry experts from TechCrunch.com, the sponsor of the TechCrunch40 event. BroadClip's MediaCatcher is not a P2P or file sharing network, it is a radically different type of media search and delivery service. BroadClip's patent pending MobSearch technology enables it to find and automatically capture the music directly to the user's PC. First-time users can expect to capture dozens of songs within 24 hours, with very high accuracy. MediaCatcher is completely legal because consumers have the "fair use" right to personally record content to their personal computers and to listen to that content whenever and wherever they want. MediaCatcher simply automates the process. The MediaCatcher Facebook application is available now on the FaceBook website, and is offered at no charge. To get it, users simply browse the FaceBook applications menu for "BroadClip MediaCatcher" and click "Install". Presently, the application works on Windows PCs; OSX and Linux versions are in beta testing. The application works with all Apple iPods, including the iPhone, all other popular media players supporting MP3 files, as well as multimedia-enabled cell phones such as the Motorola RaZR, Palm Treo, and Samsung Blackjack. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
