How Livekick Search Engine Works ?
To start, Livekick first looks to acquire knowledge of a users’ musical tastes and preferences.
It asks you to add you location. then it tries to gauge your musical tastes by allowing you to select your favorite artists by name, or by importing artists from your iTunes library, computer music library, MySpace Music, Last.fm, Pandora, iLike, blip.fm or Rhapsody accounts.
Based on these artists and where you live or travel to, Livekick gives you live concert recommendations via the web, Twitter or email.
Once you’ve found a concert you like, Livekick helps you find the best and the cheapest available tickets online from many ticketing web sites like Ticketmaster, LiveNation, StubHub, TicketWeb, Tickets.com and eBay.
