Demands Facebook Application

What is the Demands Facebook Application?

Have you wanted to see your favorite band live, but they never come near where you live? Now you can let them know that you and others want them to come to your city with the Demands Facebook Application. Demands was developed by Eventful.

Eventful is an events website that allows users to promote, share, and create events. Part of this service includes Demands. The Demands app just brings this unique service to Facebook. According to the Eventful’s website, thousands of musicians, comedians, and political candidates use Eventful to schedule their stops.

After installing the Demands application, you need to setup an account with Eventful, the app’s developer. This will allow you to create your own demands. You create your demands on the Eventful Website and they appear on your profile page. Friends who see it just simply need to click to add their demand to it as well. For my test run, I created a Demand for The Rentals. Moogs rock!

Demands Pros

• This app takes full advantage of Facebook’s social network. Like minded people can meet in one place to request acts they want to see.
• Installation is easy.

Demands Cons

• Not integrated well. You have to leave Facebook and go to Eventful to create your Demands. This could be a Facebook thing and not the app’s fault.
• Not many people using it…yet. In order for people to demand acts, they have to be signed up with Eventful. As of this writing there’s only 768 Facebook users with the Demands app installed. In order for it to have any real effect, you’ll need plenty of people using it in your network. Start spreading the word!

Overall, Demands is a really cool app. I can definitely see it becoming one of the more popular apps. Demands is a good example of a Facebook application leveraging Facebook’s network.
