Facebook continues to augment its music integration with the official launch of Songster, a new game that allows users to create music on a shared, interactive tracking platform.
The game was announced today at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX, and though it’s still in beta testing, it is open to the public now. Log in with your Facebook, share through your Facebook, make stuff with Facebook friends—it’s sort of Rock Band-ish, though you’re by yourself and actually making something (like internet friends!).
“As a musician, I’m really passionate about people connecting through music,” founder and CEO Marshall Seese, Jr. told Mashable. “So I wanted to enable anyone to make great songs, not just sounds. Social gaming seemed like a great fit because it embraces user creation.”
