As a benefit, AOL radio listeners will have access to Slacker's 3 tiers ranging from free Basic Radio, to Radio Plus, all the way to full on demand with Slacker Premium. RadioInk reports that AOL will be playing fewer commercials for users who subscribe to Radio Plus or Premium Radio as one of the benefits. Slacker's premium features include listing to all the tracks users want to listen to, the ability to skip songs and save favorite songs or stations as mentioned by Fast Company. The arrangement between Slacker and AOL will not only increase Slacker's audience but also allow both companies to produce new advertising opportunities for mutual clients. Bizzy also had a big announcement this week. Bizzy's mobile app replaces out-dated methods of reviewing restaurants and the need to check online before going out to eat. Bizzy was designed for mobile and with purpose of being more social and easier for people to participate and interact with each other as mentioned in PC Magazine.
