Your concerts history on your Facebook Timeline

Took some time developping a new feature which synchronizes your concerts list with your Facebook timeline by adding custom events in the past.

here's the details :


Export to Facebook Timeline
As a Facebook user you can export your concerts to your Facebook timeline.
To export your whole concert history, click on the "Add all" button.
Concerts will be added to your timeline back in time at the date they happened.
At any time you can add new concerts or remove any exported concert.
Only past concerts and having a complete date set will be eligible for export.
This functionality requires you allowed My Concert Archive to add events to your timeline. (You will be prompted for such permission if necessary)


Check it out at http://www.myconcertarchive.com

14000 concerts

Greetings from Corsica

is lastfm evil?

Lots of rumors around lastfm dealing with RIAA these days
It's now a big company driven by bigger companies having huge economical interests in the net.
So is lastfm victim of its success?
Just don't use it anymore, add you concerts to myconcertarchive!
Pure player
