Keejul is developing a mobile platform that makes it extremely simple for anyone residing in any of the West African nations to LEGALLY purchase and download the content of their favorite musicians. Users of the platform will be able to use any internet connected device to browse, preview, purchase and download the music directly to their devices. All the user needs to pay for the song is an ATM Card which will be used for online payment processing or they can go to the nearest ATM and pay money into their Keejul account if thats easier.
Previously we announced the addition of features from the Goliath’s of social media known as Facebook and Twitter on Keejul. The addition of these features had and continues to have a positive impact on the site. With users clicking on the Facebook “Like” button and reading the contents of the “Twitter Gist” section, user interaction has increased tremendously.
Now we proudly announce the integration of YouTube with Keejul called “Videos from the Tube”! What the team has done is add the capability for content owners to add the videos of their artist’s that are currently on YouTube to their artist’s page thus providing a one stop shop for all their artists content both from a social media standpoint and from the retail point of view.
Social Media continues to be such an integral part of our daily routine that one must wonder what life was like without the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. This impact is not just on our personal lives, it is also being felt by corporations and governments the world over!
The Team at Keejul wanted to provide you with a site that embraces social media but doesn’t allow social media to take over the site and diminish the overall user experience. We think we got this right!
Using Facebook and Twitter’s sharing capabilities we have come up with ways users of Keejul.com can enjoy the overall user experience of the site and still like, share or see what the rest of the world is saying about the Arists on the site.
We are excited about this as I’m sure you would be as well. Go ahead check it out and let us know what you think!

Africa Make Some Noise! The Story of Modern African Music
If your into “African Music” then this is a documentary that you need to listen to. Hosted by DJ Edu of BBC 1xtra who goes on to discuss the African sound and the impact it has globally.
Here is bit more info on the show:
1Xtra’s DJ Edu presents Africa Make Some Noise! - a guide to what’s really happening in African music right now.
We uncover Kenyan grime, South African house and Moroccan hip hop.
We also speak to some of the US artists earning thousands of dollars doing shows in Africa, hear Kenya’s first viral hit and go backstage at the MTV Africa Music Awards.
And we ask: why isn’t African music being played in every household in the UK?
Featuring Akon, Wyclef, Damon Albarn, Tinchy Stryder, Mos Def, Buraka Som Sistema, K’naan, Dynamite MC, Tony Allen, Nneka, Sway, Mujava, Black Coffee and a whole host of talent from across the continent including singers, rappers, bloggers, journalists and record labels.
Over the past couple of days I have asked myself this question on numerous occasions and each time I came to a different conclusion. At times I argued with myself on how the effect of a launch delay could hurt Keejul. The part of me in favor of not delaying the launch argued that companies always release products and say its in “Beta” which to me is an excuse for saying that you may find bugs and errors but its cool, we are working on fixing it. The problem the other half of me has with that is it seems like it’s being used recklessly these days with companies launching sites in Beta that are extremely buggy and have no business being in beta. Sometimes I wonder if the overall user experience is even a concern. If the majority of users are like me, you probably have to make a very strong argument as to why I should return back to the site.
Good thing is the other half won the battle in favor of a delayed launch. This will allow for majority bugs to be identified and fixed. This is obviously hurting us now, but in the long run I’m sure the other half of me will appreciate this!
