20 Mar 09 New features coming to Tweekly.fm

Tags: last.fm, tweeklyfm, twitter

So. Tweekly.fm, my last.fm and twitter mashup has almost 300 subscribers now. In order to pay for the hosting and other features I have in mind, I will have to try and start monetizing it.

There are 2 ways, through ads and premium services. I don’t really want to go into the “premium” service route. I’d rather develop more free features and try and drive more traffic to Tweekly.fm for ads.

The first biggest new feature will be a showcase page for your week’s most listened artists. So far, all that Tweekly.fm is doing, is show your top 3 artists without anything more. I COULD link to each last.fm band profile, but there isn’t enough space in a tweet. I’d rather create my own “landing” page for it.

From this showcase page, you’ll be able to see their top 3 artists for the week in a neat format with basic information about the artists. Alongside the info will be a link to the user’s last.fm profile.

This way I’ll be able to draw more traffic back to Tweekly.fm and better show your followers on Twitter what music you “actually” like.

When can you expect? Hmmm… Not too sure when. Could be soon (in a week), but at definitely before the end of April.
