An App I Would Like To See
In Facebook, I have listed most of the musical artists I would go out of my way to listen to or go see.
A few months back Sara Bareilles came to Wake Forest University, about 2 hours from here. I have been a big fan for a while now, and had wanted to see her live. I happened to check her website a month or so before the show and found out she was coming. Otherwise I would have missed it. That seems crazy to me.
I have chosen to make this information public in my profile, so it seems like there is an opportunity to build a simple app that would take things like tour schedules for artists and make sure I know about them. Write on my wall or send me a message when artists I care about are within a radius I specify.
For instance, I might travel 500 miles to see U2, but only 50 miles to see Eminem or five steps out my front door to see Brittany Spears. Using a Facebook app, I could add artists I want to see and select the radius.
Does this exist out there and I am just not finding it? Or is there something similar / better? Let me know!
