Ten app ideas
Posted in News on Apr 10, 2008 at 11:39 PM by Sachin Rekhi

One of the primary reasons we opened up our platform was to start breaking down some of the barriers to innovation by allowing all developers to access the rich library of content, features and information on imeem. The imeem Media Platform enables unlimited possibilities to create great new media experiences. We’ve listed our top ten favorite application ideas below and hope developers will pick up some of these concepts, better them and bring them to fruition. With ideas ranging from recommendations to gaming, there should be something that peaks your interest.

On another note, it’s been two weeks since we launched the imeem Media Platform, and we’re very excited at the number of developers who have started to play with the platform. Remember to keep giving us feedback in the forums as you’re developing.

Happy coding!

1. Collaborative Playlisting – Collaborative playlists to allow multiple users to build a playlist for a party, event, or just for fun!

2. Recommendations – Generate personalized radio stations based on user preferences by utilizing the recommendation and user data that imeem provides.

3. Playable Charts – Create playable billboard charts from your favorite charts source, whether it’s Billboard, iTunes, Amazon or anywhere else.

4. MP3 Blogs – Make an app to syndicate all recent blog posts from your favorite mp3 blog to imeem and allow you to listen to a playlist with all recently blogged songs.

5. Media Uploaders – Desktop media uploader that integrates with iTunes, Winamp, or Windows Media Player to easily upload your media collection to imeem.

6. Chat – Create chat rooms around particular artists or listening parties for new music releases.

7. Featured Songs – Allow a user to feature a song on their profile for their current mood, for their favorite 80’s song, love song, or whatever else you can think of.

8. Music Games – “Name that tune” game that tests your musical expertise and allows you to challenge your friends.

9. Live Music Recommendations – Create playable concert listings allowing you to sample songs from artists who are coming to town.

10. Browser Plug-ins – As you browse the web, make it easy to automatically add any song you encounter to your imeem library for later enjoyment.
