BroadClip's MediaCatcher for Facebook offers a way to search and listen to DRM-free music. Unlike other music discovery services, MediaCatcher is optimized to deliver music to portable media players such as iPods and cell phones. All users have to do is "clip" streaming music and they can transfer the recording to their portable media player in a legal way similar to other "time-shifting" technologies like TiVo, VCRs and tape recorders.
BroadClip's MediaCatcher is a new type of "search and aggregation" tool for real-time streams. Their patent-pending technology MobSearch enables instantaneous searches on thousands of real-time streams. Like Google's Adwords, MediaCatcher integrates targeted advertising into its music search results, opening an entirely new market for targeted radio advertising on portable media devices. By sharing its ad revenues with the broadcasters that provide the content, BroadClip has created a new business model that will help save Internet radio.
