LiveNation's Facebook App Lets Music Fans Track Tours, Buy Tickets

LiveNation has made friends with Facebook. On Thursday, the company announced a new Facebook app that scans your music collection and cross-references your favorite artists with its touring calendar to generate a customized list of upcoming shows that you can post for your friends to see.
