Blip.fm -- Anyone use it?
Just reading an article called "10 Web Sites That Will Matter in 2009" and Blip.fm is on there.
Anyone use it? Any good?
For those in the dark this is the description from said article:
"I'm not the first to make this comparison, but Blip.fm really is like Twitter for music. What you see at the site is a scrolling list of people's song choices with their short comments about them. These are called Blips. You can listen to the "blipped" songs as they come up, or skip up and down the list to songs you like. If you like a particular user (called DJs here), you can give them "props" for the songs they play, or you can choose to "follow" that DJ. After you have found a decent number of DJs to follow, you can switch to a mode where you see only that group's blips.
If you think of a song you want to blip, you just search for it (you can find almost anything), make your selection from the search results, write a little comment about it, hit send, and then your blip is added to the stream of other blips. The site then shows you the other members who have also blipped that artist. It's surprisingly engaging and fun, especially if you find good DJs to follow, or if your own real-world friends sign up and participate."
