NPR Music: Facebook Presence

 By Lindsey M. Musch


After time spent searching around online I found an article in which they explain to the audience “what’s next” for Facebook in terms of future features and interactivity.  This article was rather interesting in what is coming next and is recently available to Facebook users.  Also, I was asked to review a Facebook presence, which I quickly found NPR Music, which is a non-profit organization who uses many social networking sites to make a name for themselves but especially has a great Facebook presence.
            I would succinctly describe NPR Music as a non-profit organization that dedicates its Facebook presence to anything in relation to music, especially new artists as well as interviews and videos.  The organized objective here is clearly all about music, from new music and artists to live concerts to videos.
            This organization has definitely integrated itself within many of the Web 2.0 features.  NPR Music has a Twitter account which I follow them on.  They are always tweeting links to new songs and artists as well as making a huge presence on Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.

                        The article I reviewed, entitled Facebook's next big media move: Comments, would indeed have an impact the presence of NPR Music.  The article starts off by stating, 
Facebook is planning to launch a third-party commenting system in a matter of weeks, according to multiple sources familiar with the new product. This new technology could see Facebook as the engine behind the comments system on many high-profile blogs and other digital publications very soon.”
            According to this article NPR Music could benefit from this “next” big thing because there are always people commenting on links, videos and articles that NPR Music posts on their Facebook walls.  This will increase the ability to comment on NPR Music’s Facebook page, which will increase traffic as well as interest.
      Do you feel NPR Music has made a positive presence within the “new media” world?  Can you name other organizations that have such a presence?
