Apple To Integrate iTunes Into Bebo
Apple has announced a deal that will see the its popular iTunes service embedded into Bebo.
According to FT.com, Bebo’s 8.8m users in the UK and Ireland will be able to buy music directly from the profile of any musician who has a Bebo profile and whose music is available on iTunes.
The deal is a first for Apple. Bebo is a market leader in social networking in the United Kingdom despite not taking off to the same extent elsewhere.
Apple To Integrate iTunes Into Bebo
I’m a big fan of Bebo and it’s one of the more popular social networks amongst my friends too.
It also seems to have a good market for Apple to aim at – teenagers interested in music. It will be interesting to see how nicely it fits in to the bebo site and if people will go ahead and buy the songs, or whether they’re just happy listening to it through the musicians profile page.
