This about the social space like Twitter and Facebook. but location remains a truly untapped realm when it comes to promotion. Imagine getting an accurate gauge of how many fans attended a gig, real-time comments from said gig and the ability to host giveaways and promotions tied to that gig, all in one app.
Flowd is the perfect app to follow your favorite music acts’ moves and grooves, as well as manage your social networks and location check-ins in one go. Chat with friends, find the coolest spots, share pictures and connect to Facebook and Twitter.
By creating events such as this, artists can also host contests that reward fans for attending and checking in. Right now, that functionality is rather bare-bones: Bands enter in contest details manually to the “info” field and check back with Flowd to see who checks in. There’s no real way to update fans on whether or not they’re won, aside from manually messaging them.
Fans, for their part, can download the Flowd app — or register in-browser — in order to follow their favorite bands (and send them private messages) and their friends. In this way, users can keep up with where bands are performing by checking their “Flow” or news feed and check in to shows in order to garner rewards.
Users can also foster social interactions with friends and followers (which can be found via Facebook) by updating their statuses with pictures and comments via what Flowd is calling a “Shout” (yes, that is a direct rip from Foursquare) and commenting on friends’ Shouts and checkins. One can also push Shouts to Facebook and Twitter. Via Mashable
