DISQUS

Marshall Kirkpatrick · 2 years ago

Dan, speaking only as someone who has written about MyStrands before I think you're not giving them a fair shake here. Their mobile and groups functionalities extend into things like a commercial product for bars and clubs that incorporates requests by SMS, photo sharing, etc. I'm not a big user of the service, but they are certainly more than a Last.fm knock off :)

Marshall: Points well taken. The site and press release did not do a great job conveying that they were more than an attempt to emulate Last.fm, but I should have looked harder. Marshall's post can be found here:

I was personally disappointed from last.fm recommendation engine, so my take is; another music community site. I believe the next best thing is a community site WITH AN EDGE regarding recommendation. There have been some talks about meemix.com. I just registered to there Beta. If I understood correctly, they combine member behavior and music discovery to provide a station based on personal taste! Let me know if you get invited.
