Radio for the Facebook generationIn a world where social networking is all the rage, where does radio fit in? How can broadcasters help manufacturers develop new products, and help listeners discover new programmes, new music and new stations? Includes a practical demonstration using cutting-edge technology; and everything you need so you can take this idea and use it for yourself.

retune, listeners (and “hearers”) are unlikely to mix their programming.
Building a minimal social network into the device opens up discovery once

point at the re-introduction of small audiences (in the traditional sense) as
the logical next step.
