Behind The Screens: DiS meets This Is My Jam
This is My Jam feeds neatly into all of your social media holes and has taken a certain corner of the music sphere by storm since its launch back in December 2011. The initial reaction from the DiS community was mixed but it seems quite a lot of you have come to love it as much as I have, and from what TIMJ co-founder Matthew Ogle (formerly of Last.fm) reveals below, it seems Hollywood A-listers and high-profile British Politicians are fans of it too.

you appear to have posted a mix instead of a single song on your page. Despite going on about how it's good to limit it to just one song, etc. Are you deliberately missing the point?
Are mixes killing jams?
I tend to try to use the web like a skateboarder treats a shopping center.
Ah fair enough, I was a skateboarder once
If everyone posted mixes instead of individual tracks though, you'd lose the only thing that makes this site worthwhile. That said, based on the thread on here where everyone posted their own profile, almost nobody seems to have updated theirs since last month, so I guess it's not working that well anyway, at least for the DiS people.
it's a habit you need to get into
plus, you don't always have a favourite song, so it's not something you HAVE to do each week.
I love it
it's just right up my street. It's a brilliant jukebox.
What I found incredible is the number of people with the same kind of 'music jams' I was putting up to start with.
I did not have to resort to 70's music at all! :P
I like it too
I'm not so worried if I'm picking new or old music. I always pick a song from an album I have listened to that day although If I can, I'll try and find a live version or something. I like the fact that every other day I log in and I have a whole new compiliation tape to listen to and there is no real effort involved on my part.
