Integration of Facebook with Spotify brings music sharing to greater heights

Spotify app in Facebook
Spotify Main Page
Recently, my friends have started using Spotify app in Facebook, that is when I know Facebook have collaborated with Spotify. "Discovering new things through your friends" was one of the significant quotes mentioned by Mark Zuckerberg. In other words, my friends and I will be on the same pace as we listen to the music shared among ourselves. This establishes a closer connection between my friends and I. 

Spotify App
The Spotify app enables me to follow my friends' and listen to their music. Furthermore, it gives a brief introduction of music artistes and their albums, in which I can choose whether or not to add them to my playlist. 


Sharing in Facebook


After I clicked the "share" button on Spotify player, it posts the playlist on my news feed automatically. My friends can simply click on my link to access the music if they are interested. 

Magnum Advertisement 
The features of Spotify is excellent, with the exception of advertisements popping out in the midst of hearing the next track. It forces me to finish hearing the entire advertisement before playing the next song. 

The integration of Facebook and Spotify has made music sharing more interactive and convenient among users. The number of music subscriptions will continue to increase to a point whereby music sharing is becoming common in social media.

Foursquare vs. Facebook Places: which is more useful and user-friendly?

I have always used Facebook's location-based app to check-in places. Normally I see my friends using Foursquare to determine their locations and link through Facebook, but after listening to my internet lecture, that sparked my interest and I decided to try out the application.


Main Page

Foursquare allows businesses to create their business page to publish deals, information about their business and encourage users' feedback, through tips or saving lists. When users check-in to a business location or follow instructions on deals, they get to enjoy special discounts! Foursquare acts as a useful marketing and geographical tool to reach out to consumers through various channels

Information about businesses

Users can choose to save lists

Facebook Places started out as a mobile app for people to check in to physical business locations, It has similar functions as Foursquare - sharing locations and tagging friends in Facebook. Presently, location tagging has been integrated into Facebook. 


Tag specific location as a status update
Facebook places serves as a good marketing tool - appear in news feeds, in which interested users can simply click on the link and will be directed to the business page 

Which application is more useful? I can't really determine, as both serves different functions though they have the same purpose - allows people to market their business to users. Now that we can integrate Foursquare to Facebook, users can simply log in using their Facebook account without having to go through the registration process. Combining the two actually provides more benefits as compared to using either one.

Need Extra Protection? Introducing the Couch Bunker!

Heracles Corporation have recently started manufacturing the Coach Bunker, world's 1st Bulletproof and gun storage sofa.


 Isn't it Awesome?

Tables or normal couches does not really ensure your safety during a shootout - normally are portrayed inaccurately in movies.If bullets can penetrate wooden doors easily, then it makes no difference for couches. 

However, if you are being paranoid or want to live life like the characters in action movies, I suggest you get the Couch Bunker. Below lists the features of this Bulletproof sofa:

1. Store up to 30 guns in one compartment - measures 78x29.5x14'',equavlent to half of a queen sized bed
2. Lined with 2 hr firewall
3. If you're afraid of theft, do keep your valuables here - Equipped with 2 locks
4. Bulletproof cushions
5. Weigh around 900 pounds
6. Comes in fabric/leather 
7. Able to stop a 44 Magnum at point blank range 




Besides protecting you from harm during a shootout, it can also protect you in times of zombie invasion. 


    
 I would say the price is quite costly, but since it gives the protection and thrill we need, it's considered worth buying.
