Facebook-App Matches Your Taste In Music

Online, July 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Fellody.com is an internet-community where you can find friends who share your taste in music. It's a social networking service that is all about friends, music and flirts.

Until the launch of the website in mid September Zurich-based ZOKYO AG has developed a Facebook app to give users a taste of fellody.com. The app creates a list of all your Facebook-friends and their music-likes and matches them with your taste in music. As a result you can see who of your friends match with your likes and how many common artists you like. You can also get a list of most liked artists among your friends and their ranking. You can filter the results in order to see only male, female or mixed results. Another important feature of the app is the sharing-option in order to invite your friends to the app. It is now online at http://apps.facebook.com/fellody. More information is available on facebook/fellody or on fellody.com/blog.

The idea to match people based on their taste in music is closely related to several studies which proof that personal preferences and -style are closely related to music-preferences and listening-behavior. Music influences our view for example on politics, clothing-style, communication or design in general. Especially when it comes to dating or flirting, music is a key subject. Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling from the University of Cambridge found out that especially teenagers prefer to talk about music more than talking about clothing or sports and that people with similar taste in music widely match in personality.

The fellody facebook app has been developed by Zurich based ZOKYO AG in cooperation with IT-development experts PeDigital GmbH and Communication & Design company PeMedia GmbH. The launch of fellody.com is being scheduled for mid September 2011. Until then fellody.com offers sweepstakes in order to get users to preregister.
