ShowClix Version 2.0 Includes More Web 2.0 Tools To Help Music Fans Find, Track & Share Live Music
New features include an innovative online "Tour Tracker" tool.
(PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- Every summer, thousands of musicians hit the road to perform in front of millions of live music fans in hundreds of cities across North America - and this summer is no different. To help music fans keep track of their favorite artists as they hit the road this summer, ShowClix.com today launched version 2.0 of its website, introducing a variety of new features to help music fans find, track and share live music.
The most notable addition to ShowClix' feature list is the new "Tour Tracker" tool. Music fans registered on the site can use the "Tour Tracker" to keep tabs on their favorite musicians as they zigzag the country. To use the new feature, music fans simply enter the names of their favorite artists into their personal "Tour Tracker." ShowClix then scours the database every two hours, sending email alerts to music fans when one of the artists they're tracking announces a show in their city.
"As the ShowClix database continues to grow we want to make sure it remains easy for music fans to find and share live music," said ShowClix CEO Joshua Dziabiak. "Our new features not only make it easier to search for live music, but they also feed information directly to music fans that don't have the time to constantly search online."
To enhance music fans' experience while browsing the site, ShowClix has added several new elements to their show listings pages - a "Discuss this show" section that gives fans the opportunity to share their thoughts on an upcoming concert; a "Photos" section that displays Flickr photos tagged with an artist's name; and a "Who's Going" section that lets fans show they will be attending an event, while also helping musicians and venues gauge concert attendance.
In addition, users now have profile pages that list all of the upcoming shows they will be attending and music fans can now track a venue's show listings through an RSS feed.
