A new partnership between Last.fm and Pontiac could be great news for new Vibe owners.
First of all, have you heard of Last.fm? If not, it’s a great website where you can log on, type in the name of a song and listen to it immediately. I haven’t tested it out extensively, but I’ve typed in a few obscure songs and it played each one of them.
With the < href=http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3629909>new partnership with this CBS-owned website, Vibe owners have access to their own "virtual Pontiac dashboard." They visit the website, click on the site’s logo and the music begins. You can even switch between different genres with the click of a button.
While you’re boppin’ your head to the music, you can view other information related to the Pontiac brand. Local Pontiac dealer locations, features and comparison of different Vibe models are just a few of the things you’ll find here. It’s all part of the "Pontiac Vibe Community" created on Last.fm.
According to Christian Ward, the public relations manager for Last.fm, the website decided to team up with Pontiac because the automaker has been "innovators in the digital music space for years."
In addition to viewing all types of information related to Pontiac, you can also register to win some valuable prizes with a unique concept. Instead of filling out a generic form, you can win an iPod by leaving messages in the website’s "shoutbox" about the longest distance you’ve ever gone just to get to a concert. For me, that would be the time I drove from Flint, Michigan to Cleveland, Ohio for a Hootie and the Blowfish concert. Or it could also be the time I took my crush to a Dave Matthews concert in Dayton, Ohio only to find out once we got there that it was about three hours away (with traffic) in Columbus. We got there in time to catch the last three songs.
