LocaModa lets cellphones interact with jukeboxes
Trust us, this isn't the first time LocaModa's dabbled in the cellphone-controlled gadgetry game, but it's never been more friendly than it's being with the Social Jukebox. The aforesaid company has teamed up with TouchTunes in order to give patrons the ability to interact with flat-panels on TouchTunes jukeboxes. On-screen applications will include information about the song currently playing, elusive "user generated content" and even "patron photos" from their social networking profiles (scary?). For those completely absorbed in this stuff, you can even keep tabs on the interactions via data feeds from your favorite network. Twitter fights over which song ushers the drinking crowd out in a bar 1,500 miles away? What is the world coming to?

Well, the diagram seems to indicate that only orange pawns will be able to use these exciting features. And they only like Queen...

If I understand correctly, basically we can control jukeboxes everywhere via cellphones?
Haha, awesome. I know which song I'm choosing!
"C is for Cookie, cookie stars with C...."

having part of your company rhyme with "commode" might tax morale a little bit. other than that seems pretty cool til they flood your screen with ads :)

Ha, I like this.. Just for kicks we like to go into bars we dont normally drink at and play the lamest song they have to see how many ppl leave the bar due to said song.. The worst thing now is that they can usually figure out who was the one to play it..
This would let us set the song in cue b4 we step foot in.. I like...!!

What happens when people start doing the same thing in YOUR favorite bar? Yeah, didn't think about that eh? Personally I don't want to flee my favorite bar just because Jessica Simpson starts sucking all the fun out of the place. I call a truce right now!

Playing your favorite songs when you're out at a bar is an inherently
social activity -- you and your friends are talking about and choosing
music genres and selections on the jukebox (the original social network
dynamic). Now add access to mobile marketing and new music
information...even the chance to participate in promotions like trivia
contests, design your own car, pick your favorite drink, get text
message updates or find out where the closest fast food restaurant is.... this is social networking...community building in "Real Space" rather than just a virtual "MySpace." Think of it as Juke 2.0 and companies like Ecast, TouchTunes and others are leveraging this familiar platform to bring new and innovative ideas to people outside of the home every day.
