It’s social music advertising. We’ve added the Rdio button right in line with other Buzzfeed reactions OMG, LOL, WIN, etc. We created custom playlists for each reaction and clicking the Rdio button pops up some of the hottest tracks from the Top Charts playlist on Rdio.

You can even search for any track available on Rdio and use that for your reaction. For example I reacted to this awesome duck post with the song Rubber Duckie:

Non Rdio users can hear a :30 second preview, and Rdio users can hear the whole song. nonadult nonadult This all reminds me of musical greeting cards - music used to send a message or convey a feeling. It&#39;s a very social way of illustrating how Rdio can be used to comment on and share content. It&#39;s also advertising that is native, novel, and enhances the user experience. We&#39;re proud of this very cool partnership and thrilled to work with the folks at Rdio and Horizon Media to make this a reality. <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5953176/buzzfeeds-new-rdio-button-lets-you-react-to-posts-in-song">Gizmodo has a nice write-up of the functionality</a>, and we hope you&#39;ll give it a try through the beginning of next year while the campaign is live. nonadult Jonsteinberg went back in time! 2 http://www.buzzfeed.com/jonsteinberg/jonsteinberg-went-back-in-time-2 Click Here to create your own Then and Again image!

Full Post from his Facebook wall:
OKAY! Let's try once again.

Have an unmastered track from the new Ben Folds Five album. It's called "Do It Anyway". The intensity of the track is typical of the rest of the album, but each song is quite different. That always was the way with our records I suppose. We're nearly done and I think it's a cracker.

http://bit.ly/IR7qg1

Posting this track, preaching to our online choir along with a few select interviews - I'm thinking Nerdist - will be the extent of the album promotion for the run up to the September release.

I realize that it's a luxury for us to promote only to fans. We've had the help of labels for years which gave us a leg up. The years of traditional promotion, soul draining as they might have been, affords us that luxury now. A start up band cannot easily do it this way. Our intention is not to 'stick it to the man'. He's quite stuck enough. We don't care to create a new model. We're just doing it the way it feels best this time around and quite honestly, making it up as we go along.

Please consider joining our label as Vice President of Promotion - There's unlimited room for vices. We'll credit you each in the LP vinyl album art somehow and if it won't all fit then we'll make poster art of names.

I recall being very excited to have had my name put on a knife in a glass case at a restaurant for being a frequent customer. I am one of many but I still beam with pride to point it out. Once had a star named after me too. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I digress...

As Vice President of Promotion, all you have to do is put up with my tweeting and facebooking in the run up to the release, and recycle and retweet as much as you can deal with. I'll run ideas past you all, feel free to chime in.

We're not signed at the moment. We may sign a distribution deal or even a record deal if it all coincides with the way we want to work. Or not. We're chewing over plans. In any event, we'll go ahead and put the album on pre-sale soon ourselves and tweet like the wind.

We just need everyone to spread the word up to the release and put up with a few extra transmissions from me. I've got some more long winded blogging to do anyway.

Happy Friday, or maybe Saturday Morning.
