Boston's RiotVine announces Foursquare beta launch.
Two weeks ago Jennie White and I attended THE event for Boston’s music and tech scene and were blown away by all of the presenters and the amazingly innovative work they are doing at the intersection of music and technology. At the event, RiotVine’s founder Kabir Hemrajani revealed the coming launch of a new Foursquare integration that will allow music artists to customize the fan experience during a concert.
RiotVine — a platform that finds and aggregates local events and tells you which of your friends have plans to attend — will tap into Foursquare’s API to tell performers who’s at their concert. The artists will then be able to share tracks during the show in real time with fans in attendance.
Here’s your chance to dive in and see for yourself how RiotVine is taking Foursquare to the next level. If you’re like me and already have a growing list of must-see shows this summer, at the Comcast Center, BOA Pavilion and Beachcomber, this is a must-try. You might meet fellow concert goers like yourself and make plans for the rest of the year’s events!
Want to try it out?
Simple, Email me, Greg[at]bostinnovation.com and tell me the show you’re most looking forward to and what type of smart phone you have, and I will make sure you are checked in and ready to riot all summer long. Oh, and you must fit the requirements listed below:
- Have an iPhone, Android phone, or Palm Pre
- Have a foursquare account
- Be active socially, go to lots of events!
