Qloud now on Hi5

We’re very happy to announce that we’re live on Hi5 networ. For those of you who don’t know, Hi5 is a social network that has over 70 million users. Similar to Facebook and Bebo, they have opened up their site to allow applications to integrate into it. We are happy to be one of the first two to be on this platform.

An interesting difference about Hi5’s platform is that it supports Google’s OpenSocial API. All our profile boxes and canvas pages are built using the Widget API. It’s great to see that the Social has begun and to be part of it.

Our application inside Hi5 initially is just the Library view, search functionality, and Favorites. Favorites is one of our newer features that allow users to select which artist and tracks are their fav’s and place those on their profile. Over the next couple weeks, we’ll be adding more and more features to the service to make it more fun to use and easier to share with others. Stay tuned.

As always, send us comments to feedback@qloud - we’d love to hear what you think of the application

Qloud Delivers My Music to Bebo Media Network

Deployment of music discovery service introduces unlimited music and social discovery to 40 million users on the Bebo media network.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) December 12, 2007 — Qloud, a social music service that allows users to listen to music inside of social networks, today announced that it has launched its My Music application on Bebo’s social media network.

The Qloud My Music application is a revolutionary music service that delivers online music to users how they want it - unlimited, on-demand and linked to their personal music libraries - and where they want it - inside social networks where they can share music with and discover it through their friends. By supporting Bebo’s Open Application Developer Platform, Qloud will now deliver the My Music experience to Bebo’s well-established international user base of 40 million.

“Qloud’s My Music application is proving that unlimited, on-demand content is the music experience that consumers want on social networks,” said Mike Lewis, co-founder of Qloud. “Bebo’s platform has made it easy for us to develop a rich and social music experience inside of their network, and we’re excited to leverage this platform to bring My Music to Bebo’s 40 million users.”

By simply installing the My Music Bebo application, users can immediately see and legally play entire songs and videos from their complete iTunes libraries inside of Bebo. My Music also allows users to see and play online the iTunes libraries of their friends, view and exchange playlists with their friends, browse and play the most popular songs among their friends and social groups, and add their friends’ songs to their own online libraries.

“We’ve had great traction with the My Music application. More than two million registered users are demonstrating how My Music has created a unique and powerful music experience for social networks,” added Lewis. “We look forward to bringing our My Music application to Bebo’s users and to monitoring the response it generates in markets like the U.K. and Ireland where the network has a strong presence.”
