MTV Gets Back Into Music Videos

MTV has just released a new application and guess what it does? It plays music videos! As pictured below, the MTV Music Videos application enables users to view top artists and their music videos. The library is fairly large for each artist although the number of artists is currently limited to 20.

My guess is that this is MTV’s trial application to see how popular the application becomes prior to investing any more energy into building out the application with new features. This application is comparable to the relatively popular Yahoo Music Videos application except that Yahoo has opened up their entire library to the application.

The primary differentiating factor of the MTV application is an increase in video size. Overall the application is well made and it fits well into the Facebook interface. The only downside to the application is the lack of community involvement. At no point can you post comments or communicate with other users. The only thing that comes close to community is the ability to view videos that your friends have viewed and the ability to “dedicate” a video to one of your friends. Overall I think MTV has done a pretty good job of bringing videos to Facebook, they should try to add more community features if they want the application to expand virally. If you want to watch music videos on Facebook go grab the MTV Music Videos applications.
