I Like Music

For all my griping about online networking sites I think I just found one I genuinely like. MySpace is ridiculous for its superficiality and I think I will go crazy if I get anymore pointless application requests on Facebook. Really both of those sites are used more as a directory to get in touch with people and I generally abandon all their other uses. However, one of the things I like about MySpace is finding new music because it allows me to search by genre or see artists that sound like or are influenced by those I already like. But myspace may be abandoned entirely in the near future after my discovery of iLike, an online network devoted strictly to the music you love and listen to. By installing an application on your computer it monitors the music you listen to in iTunes or Windows Media Player. It is constantly updating what you are listening to so not a lot of work has to go on on your end. However, you can also manually add artists or songs you like to your profile. And if any of your friends are in your network you can see what they love or are currently listening to. All the while a sidebar is installed on your itunes, as each new song is played the sidebar is updated with related artists, news, and free downloads. And if you don't feel like being spied on by the public at large or even friends, set your profile to private. You can still benefit from the all the other features. Pretty cool. Check out my profile.
