An iPhone App That Renders Judgement on Your Musical Coolness
It’s called TastemakerX. Hipsters will be all over this because it was created with music fans who believe they know about bands ebfore anyone else. From Mashable:
It’s a mobile stock market game to showcase musical trendsetting skills — knowing about Lady Gaga pre-global domination (on the charts) back in 2008 when “Just Dance” first debuted. When artists make it big, gamers will earn “notes,” the game’s virtual money, to buy more artists and show off their skills in connected social networks.
Marc Ruxin, the CEO and co-founder of TastemakerX, has worked in the music industry scouting unsigned artists and written about the music scene for years. He believes this app is filling a need for a music-based social graph. The creators of the mobile app wanted to build a social network for people passionate about entertainment — music in particular.
