Kanye West & Jay-Z’s “H.A.M.” A Marketing Spoil.

Days before the release, West and Jay-Z announced on their Facebook fan pages that “H.A.M.” would be a midnight release via a page dedicated to their joint album.

New Tron inspired Facebook game: “Nightclub City”
A TRON: LEGACY theme can now be experienced in Booyah!’s virtual game: “Nightclub City” — a game that unites millions of music fans on Facebook, allowing them to create their own personalized virtual nightclub. Since launching in April 2010, more than 15 million players have “joined the party” in “Nightclub City”.
Players of this game can move their virtual nightclubs into “TRON City” — all the while mixing selected tracks from Daft Punk’s movie soundtrack.Once within the new virtual environment, players will be able to unlock TRON-themed decor items for their nightclub, such as a lightcycle or special DJ booth, as well as costumes that turn Nightclub City avatars into TRON “programs.” Players can also unlock special TRON parts for their avatars by watching a trailer for the TRON: EVOLUTION video-game within Nightclub City.
Club owners will be able to host themed TRON: LEGACY launch parties within the game — throwing a TRON launch party will earn players rewards and virtual items, bringing in more guests and activating special party power-ups.

Not because I really like these pairs of Social Network Sneakers by Gerry Mckay, but because this “buzz” shows once more the power of online social communities!
