I've always wondered why social networks don't ally with music labels and promote/sell music. Small networks can contact indie labels, and huge networks can work with sony, etc ...
It just seems to me that music is the perfect social product...
Yeah but I think it has taken them a long time to realize. What I am getting at is a music advertising/sales marketplace where "any" social network could sign up and promote/sell music. This would be another possible solution to monetizing social networks. So if I maintained a 100k high school football network, There would be an easy way to integrate music ads. And when I say music I mean new acts in general, tours, specific shows, and of course actual product releases/merch sales. As I said, music is very social and everyone likes some kind of music.
