As we develop each our music application ideas I have enjoyed listening to people talk about their ideas. This has allowed for different perspectives on what can be told through music. My main interest is in the concert experience and listening to others has made me look at different kinds of data that I didn’t see connecting before.

1. Wego is one of the closet apps I found to what I want to accomplish. It gathers all the concerts of both local and nationally known artists that will be in a city near me. Then it also allows me to chat with others that are attending the concert. My big difference is real time rating/reviewing of the show. We can all become music reviewers with this app. This also can create a community for people that enjoy going to shows that want to share the best experience with others.
