You get a ton done when you’re at your computer, speeding away on the day’s social media strategy. In the last year alone, mobile payments apps has generated a total $235.4billion worldwide.
Mobile apps and tools can make it easier for a marketer’s entire day as it is filled with easier ways to tap opportunities to connect, engage and share. You can get more done while waiting, lounging, and at anytime when you’re not tethered to a desktop or laptop. The palm size, weightlessness and wireless technology that comes with mobile makes it convenient and primary for miXXerS users on the go,
It necessary for miXXerS’ future development that in addition to being a mobile first site we create mobile apps that enable users to log-on their account just by clicking a miXXerS app icon on the mobile screen. This allows all users to stay on top of the latest news or music posts, share music and all the service that we offers are now able to access from mobile apps.
In summary, you can enjoy complete page management controls like you can with the Facebook app, making life super easy for admins who need to make changes on the fly, while you’re on the go.
The following picture is the sample of the front page when you click on our future miXXerS app on your mobile.

Following up on the draft web map published earlier here are the revised Web maps and Storyboards that I did. In this map ‘band’ also refers to musician.
—————————————————————————————————————
function 1: Function to attend events.
Select Location/Date/DJ/Band/Music genre and narrow down your search to go to the DJ/Band’s personal page to view event information. All events are linked to google map. ticket should be sold online using Paypal or third party ticket sites like Eventbrite or Ticketmaster.

function 2: request DJ/band
When you would like to ask the DJ/band to play for personal event, use this function. Selection could be by location, data, DJ.Band and Music genre, then narrow down to each event information. When you found the one you wanted, send an email to the DJ/Band to negotiate the detail. Those email exchange will be monitored by miXXerS and miXXerS will take few % of the price.

Function 6: register DJ/Band
This is the site for both DJ/Band and listeners can have profits. DJ/Band looking for fan base will register themselves to miXXerS.

—————————————————————————————————————
Function 7: register (user)
Users also have to register to use any of this service, since information of DJ/Band and members will be confidential and exclusive to members only. It would be dangerous enough to contact/meet a stranger especially at some night club, so registration is important for the safety of users. It also is required to ask users to buddy up carefully, at their own risk.

Function 8: review Function 5 : Upload music
After attended to some events members may write review and evaluate stars to each DJ/Band page to contribute the trustfulness of miXXerS. The administration staff may upload legal music or video clip but they can also link to 3rd party sites like Spotify and SoundCloud.

This is something which really caught my attention! Definitely something worth considering while designing functionality for social media websites.
