Songkick integrates Twitter to go realtime and preserve your gig tweets

Is "go realtime!" the new "go social!"? ;)

>> "preserving the moment when everyone was tweeting enthusiastically about the band they were watching."

Do people seriously sit there watching a band whilst tweeting about it? Man I feel old.

Also it seems like twitter could really do with some allowance for meta-info with tweets. For example if you could send a tweet and add a meta-location attached to that tweet. There's only so many hashtags you can fit in 140 chars... And that info would be better taken out as meta-info rather than text in a tweet.

{tweet:"Wow he's on fire tonight!", location:"o2arena", event:"Billy Joel concert"}

Might be worth songkick doing their own "twitter for concerts" later on where you can just choose the concert you're at and comment on it? Seems like a good strategy to attack twitter with a niche usage by doing it better than twitter.

Cool update though :) WD songkick :D

If any of you guys are going to shows soon and use twitter, we'd love your feedback.
