MOG Introduces Applications on Facebook(R) Platform That Automatically Display the Music You're Listening to Now

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Facebook f8 Event -- MOG (http://www.mog.com/), the web's most raging music scene created by a passionate community of music lovers and powered by cutting edge music discovery technology, today announced at Facebook's F8 event the MOG "Last Songs Played" and "My Top Songs This Week" applications built on Facebook Platform. These applications enable Facebook users to automatically display the songs they've listened to most recently and frequently on their computers and iPods.

"Facebook Platform creates an ecosystem for developers to build applications that deeply integrate into Facebook and use its social graph," said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. "By enabling developers to make applications within Facebook, we're working together to create a better utility for millions of people."

Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and people around them. Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships between people. With more than 24 million active users, Facebook is the sixth most-trafficked Website in the United States.

With MOG's "Last Songs Played" and "My Top Songs This Week" applications, Facebook users can further personalize their pages by expressing who they are through the music they listen to. At the same time, it's easy to discover new music by visiting friends' Facebook pages and checking out the music they're into.

"We couldn't be happier about being one of the inaugural applications built on Facebook Platform," said David Hyman, MOG's CEO and founder. "Besides religion and sports, we can't think of anything that brings people together more powerfully than music. We're looking forward to giving the Facebook community the tools to connect through the music they listen to."

All this is possible without ever leaving the Facebook site thanks to seamless integration that makes it easy to add MOG's "Last Songs Played" and "Top Songs This Week" applications into a Facebook profile. The MOG applications are powered by MOG-O-MATIC, which tracks everything you're listening to on your computer and iPod and automatically posts it to your Facebook page, so anyone in the Facebook community can instantly see what you're listening to. As you listen to music on your computer and iPod, MOG-O-MATIC automatically keeps score, so your profile is always fresh and up-to-date.

Facebook today launched Facebook Platform, a development platform that enables companies and engineers to integrate with Facebook and gain access to millions of users. More than 50 percent of Facebook users return to the site each day, providing unparalleled distribution potential for applications and the opportunity to build a business that is highly relevant to people's lives.
