• ~*.*~A Few Cool Sites~*.*~

  For those of you who are way into music as well as social networking (i.e. Facebook, Xanga, Twitter, etc) here are a few sites I found this week that I made use of and thought were pretty cool and interesting.

  http://www.playlist.com/  ~ This site is cool because it's versatile.  Some players will only work for MySpace or Facebook but this one works for a number of sites listed and also offers an option to get a code that will work on any other website you might have.  I've been keeping an eye out for a play list that would work for my Xanga profile - had tried a few - but hadn't been able to come across anything compatible.  Good news!  This one works.  I simply went to "edit my theme" and clicked on "create new module".  When the box popped up, I named it, added the code for the player and voila! it worked.  Since music means a lot to me, I was pretty excited!

  http://blip.fm/all ~ This site I found through my new fav. site:  Twitter!!  yeah!    So cool, because you can create an account easily enough, then type a song into their search bar.  When you find the one you want, you can "blip" it - add it to your profile page along with your thoughts or comments.  In this way, you can be your own DJ, can add your friends so that they can listen to your music, and can attract other users who might like your selection.  However, the feature I really like, is that you can connect it to Twitter, so that when you "blip" a song, it automatically "tweets" it, along with your thoughts/comments.  Want to add a song but don't want to "tweet" it?  Simply put a "!" in front of your blip - and your blip stays on blip.fm without being "tweeted".  My blip.fm username is "b_girl" fyi!

  Anyway, just wanted to share - for some of you who are social networking, Twitter, or music addicts!
