This is just the beginning and it will get better. There is SO much still to do.

For now, to discover new music you can go to a couple sections of Hipset:

1) New Videos from artists all around the world http://hipset.com/all/videos/

2) New Videos from artists you follow http://hipset.com/following/videos/

Cool, thanks for pointing this out. Wish it was more obvious :)

Keep up the hustle.

BTW: For those wondering, we have not yet turned on the Facebook Open Graph Actions. It will not auto share with your friends when you look at content right now (and when we do turn that on you will have the ability to easily turn it off).

I went to Waldorf for 10 years (preschool - 8th grade).

Didn't get a computer until I was 12.

Holy shit - what's up. Go friend me on Facebook http://facebook.com/Mattfs

I'm Matt Schlicht, one of the guys in the story. We would love to chat with any music/entertainment focused companies OR digital managers + any start up founders. Email matt@tracksby.com to get in touch.

To everyone else - thanks for the support! (love the Madmen reference)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you social networking 100: When people are talking about you, go say hi.

Hi Matt :)

Right on guys.

But, even for Lil' Wayne? It's hard to believe, usually ad budgets get allocated for Universal artists

With a brand like Lil Wayne, you don't need to spend money on advertising to gain FB users.

You're severely underestimating how popular these people are. Plus given their target markets ARE the social networking generation, getting them to "like" your pages is even easier.

It would be a waste of money to spend anything on trying to get FB fans when you can do it for free.

$0

Its all about finding all possible ways to distribute their content + maximizing the interactions with the content once you send the traffic (optimizing it to be viral, social, and a great experience where both the fan and artist are happy).

> maximizing the interactions...optimizing it to be viral..

You lost me.

Well, I assume Lil' Wayne's advertising budget went to these guys, but then these guys didn't spend any of it on the promotions they did (it just paid for their time / expertise).

ahupp - That is referencing the real time comments (where comments are pushed to you without reloading the page).

This is different. Facebook is showing the actual like count change in real time. This is fantastic feedback for big brands.

You might want to check the credits at the end of the post ahupp linked to. :)

"big brands"? What brand is getting enough traffic to justify the overhead of truly realtime like updates, besides Facebook or Zuck?

They are working on it.

Cool, in any case this could be a good device for web, media, reading and email.

That's what I figure. At the very least you can use it for movies/tv shows or a really fancy digital photo frame.
