LimeWire Building Social Network

LimeWire has had a colorful recent history and now that history is going to be even more interesting. Now LimeWire developers are planning on connecting musicians with their fans.

“This year, alongside the usual LimeWire search results, we’ll begin integrating links to extended content in LimeSpot, LimeWire Store and, eventually, across the web.” George Searle, LimeWire CEO, writes in his blog, “Soon, within LimeWire, you’ll be able to connect with participating artists, and drill down or sideways to see photos, find tour dates, watch music videos, find lyrics and buy music, tickets and merchandise.”

Last year, ZeroPaid reported on LimeWire developing a LimeWire store. Two years ago, ZeroPaid also reported on LimeWire integrating BitTorrent.

The LimeSpot website says that users can, “Be a blogger, whip up a wiki, foster a forum — or all of the above.”
