MPX4 Wants To Be The Top Music Game On Facebook

 
MXP4 claims that the more than 1.3 million active monthly users of the vendor’s Pump It application put it well on the way toward becoming the number one music-focused game on Facebook.

That’s certainly a convenient claim to make as the company tries to rally attendees for this Friday’s appearance at South by Southwest by MXP4 Vice President of Business Development and Content Mark Collins, who’s speaking on the “Marketing Your Music in an Overloaded World” panel at 2pm.
Over 30 popular artists with a combined fan base of 65 million have already installed the application. These musical acts include Enrique Iglesias, Cheryl Cole, David Guetta, Nelly Furtado, Hollywood Undead, UnderOath, Lloyd Banks, Ingrid Michaelson, Neon Trees, Taio Cruz, John Legend, Far East Movement, Ellie Goulding, Matisyahu and Anarbor.
These artists enjoy what MPX4 claims is  30 percent sharing rate and an average of 12 minutes spent per session. It’s easy to see why: The ability to hear a hot song while interacting with it has a lot of sticky potential.
The application’s creators insist that Pump It entices fans into spending time on the artist page, encourages viral distribution and increases purchases of the artist’s music. Did we also mention it’s kinda fun too?
Pump It encourages users to play a game while listening to hit songs.  Users can also remix tracks by adding or subtracting parts of songs — including vocals,  guitars and bass parts. Plus, there’s also a karaoke feature that allows you to sing along with your favorites.
Artists install the application on their pages and fans can reach it by clicking on the words “Play With It” in the left-hand sidebar of the artist’s page.
“MXP4’s social music gaming platform is proving to be a powerful way for artists to engage fans while increasing monetization opportunities,” said MXP4 Chief Executive Officer Albin Serviant in a press release. “We are excited to have so many top artists adopting Pump It, and we look forward to launching our brand new initiative in the social music gaming space in Q2.”
The company has plans to introduce more applications in the social gaming space, and recently added former Playfish executive Xavier Louis to lead the social music gaming product strategy, development team.
Have you tried Pump It, and if so what do you think of the application?

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar. The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
