Red Foundry takes on Radio!

24 May 2010

Check out this video on the upcoming Red Foundry Radio solution...

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MOBILE PRESENCE

You have full control of branding your application, from the name of your app in the App Store, application icon, logos, and more - the application is 100% branded to your station.
You can add as much or as little information to an About Us screen in the app - publishing the information your fans need to know about you.

MONETIZE YOUR STREAM

If you already publish song data with your stream, we automatically download song data and album art - linking every song played to iTunes.
If you have an iTunes LinkShare affiliate account, you can earn 5% of every song sale made by your listeners through the application.

PROMOTE YOUR STATION THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS

With direct integration to Facebook and Twitter, listeners of your stream will automatically be able to share what they are listening to on the popular social networks promoting the music, your station, and your application.

CONNECT WITH YOUR FANS

With a live chat wall, Listeners to your station will be able to interact in real-time with you and each other creating more opportunities for your fans to connect to the music they love and your station.
Have a live set coming up? With push notifications you can 'Text Message' the users of your app to let them know they should connect and listen to the stream. (coming soon)

Red Foundry Update

15 February 2010

Hello all!

I just wanted to take a moment and give you a quick update as to where we are at with Red Foundry and what you should expect in the next few weeks. First of all, we sincerely appreciate the tremendous support and excitement we’ve seen from you during these first weeks! Please keep it up!

Secondly, we know a bunch of you are ready and rearing to start building apps, and we apologize if we haven’t been able to let you into the beta program yet. We are currently waiting for Apple to approve the latest version of our viewer app (the one in the demo video). As soon as Apple approves it, we will start letting more people into the beta program. Unfortunately this is out of our hands and Apple is the one who controls the schedule. If you know someone at Apple who can call in a favor for us, please do! : )

Lastly– as a result of your feedback and app ideas, Red Foundry is undergoing some pretty major changes that are going to open the realm of possibilities for apps built upon it. In its current version, Red Foundry is perfectly suited for apps that expose a lot of content (like music, photos, blogs, etc), but it’s not well suited for apps that required any sort of user input. We are working on a new version of Red Foundry that we hope to release in a few weeks that will allow app builders to create complex forms to send and receive data from other web enabled applications. This now means that apps built on Red Foundry will be able to integrate with just about any external XML/Web based API. With the exception of animated games, there isn’t really much you won’t be able to build with this new version of Red Foundry. We’re extremely excited about these new capabilities and can’t wait to show you more in the coming weeks!

Again, we thank everyone for their support and patience and are looking forward to opening up the beta program to a broader audience very soon!

Cheers,

-jim
