Squeet - Free Email RSS Reader

This is nothing particularly groundbreaking (RSS to Email), but it's still pretty cool when used with the "right" feeds. Over in the sidebar I've added a box where you can subscribe to my "All Playlists" feed from Music Now. Whenever I create a new playlist, the email will be sent with links to the detail page.

Sort of a subset of what Immedi.at is doing, although I never quite got that to work as designed. Take a whirl and let me know what you think.

New Playlist/Chart Widget

Check it out over in the sidebar, new and improved Music Now javascript chart/playlist widgets (thanks Ted!). If you know how to dig the list ID # out of the service (www.aolmusicnow.com), you too can display to the world what you are listening to.... no fuss, no muss.

Just start with this:




And swap out the id number for the list you want to display and then paste it into the HTML of your page. Enjoy!

This looks like a pretty nice little javascript feed display widget. I like it better than RSS-to-Javascript's formart (or lack thereof) and it seems to handle the Title fields more robustly than the current implementation I have in the sidebar.

Steve Krause : Blog: Pandora and Last.fm: Nature vs. Nurture in Music Recommenders: "Both services allow you to specify a favorite artist, based on which you immediately receive an Internet audio stream of similar music. When I tell people that this is possible—that you can have a personalized streaming radio station—most are astonished. So let's start by saying that what these and similar services do is cool. How Pandora and Last.fm do it is an interesting compare-and-contrast."

LOL.... this is what some of the pre-Apple announcement product speculation

looked like. To be honest, it would have been far more exciting that what

they actually did announce. Yes, Apple is using their iPod to morph them

into the new Sony. The funny thing is, they don't seem to be learning

anything from Sony's mistakes....

The unveiling is later today, but here is another image of what Origmai may

look like. The news on the video I talked about earlier in the week is that

it is an "old" promotional video done by Microsoft.
