Live Nation's New Concert App for Facebook Is Actually Pretty Good

Yesterdsay, Live Nation--the massive promoter and concert company--unveiled Concert Calendar, a Facebook app that sucks in information from Ticketmaster (a Live Nation company) and 75 other ticketing agencies around the planet.

What you get on your Facebook page is a series of concert recommendatiosn based on whatever streaming music services you use (Spotify seems to be the favoured service) along with your Facebook likes.  It's even game-ified with chances to win "Concert Cash" and discounts just by checking things out.

I can see this being pretty useful for live music fans who get really pissed when they realize a local show by their favourite artist has come and gone.  Meanwhile, Ticketmaster and the other ticketers should see revenues go up.  That means more money for Live Nation.
