Webjay

Jon Udell laments the loss of Napster, because he no longer can find interesting music. The basis for ideas to new music should be based on your presonal taste: your playlist. WebJay makes a first step in this direction. On this site user can publish their playlist. Each playlist consists of the song name and a link to a public available MP3-file.

Although this is interesting in itself, I see it as a minor first step to a good recommendation service. A playlist could be published in an appropriate RSS-format and then aggregated by a service, which then offers suggestions on your or somebody else’s playlist. My music interest should not stay locked up within Amazon.
