PassAlong's OnTour Co-Branded Widgets to Feature RCA Music Group Artists: New Wave of OnTour Widgets Showcases RCA Artists Alicia Keys,
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (Business Wire EON) November 28, 2007 -- "We are excited to partner with RCA to offer fans OnTour widgets showcasing some of their favorite artists," said Dave Jaworski, co-founder and CEO of PassAlong Networks. "With upcoming tours, we plan to announce new widgets featuring even more artists in the near future."
The co-branded widgets will be featured on the artists' websites and profiles and will load their tour information, discography with MP3 sample player and RSS news items. The widgets can further be used as live and recorded music search engines. Users can enter their own city and discover when artists are coming into town. The widget includes an MP3 sample player that enables users to discover new music, allows easy sharing of events and music via Friendster, and provides links to ticket information and online music stores.
"The OnTour co-branded widgets give fans the opportunity to promote their favorite artists on websites across the Web," said Chris Boghigian of RCA Music Group. "This is a fantastic tool that allows fans to connect with some of our most prominent artists on a unique and personal level."
OnTour is an award-winning service which ensures fans "Never Miss a Concert Again!(R)" by matching fans' favorite artists with a concert database through a series of products and the www.OnTour.net website, where more extensive concert information is available including venue maps, artist information and ticket purchasing links.
