The music lover’s social network Flowd, which recently arrived stateside after its European debut, just updated its mobile applications with a boatload of new features that make them worth a look. Up until now, Flowd was only mildly interesting, as it was primarily touting its 600 or so artists and DJs who had signed up for the network – a number which, in the grand scheme things, is merely a drop in the bucket of all things music.

If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. Quick Pitch: Flowd is a location-based mobile app that facilitates closer connections and rewards between bands and their fans. Genius Idea: More and more bands are getting into the social space via tools like Twitter and Facebook, but location remains a truly untapped realm when it comes to promotion.
