What keeps them going

WHY Ideabove?

There are many existing music cloud applications like spotify, vimeo and more. But what makes Bonosound (the music cloud application created by Ideabove team) interesting to us is
1. Their business and profit model
2. Their idea of using cloud in the music entertainment

BonoSound

Bonosound is a social music platform created for us to receive music recommendations from friends at the moment we need music. You can find thousands of great songs that you haven’t heard before thanks to the kind introduction from other users.

Problem?
We need music anytime, anywhere. For house parties, for driving dates, for lonely nights. What do we do usually? Start digging our old playlist, torrent downloads, listen to internet radio, ask friends.
With Bonosound, you can "ask" your friends directly!
