Mixtape Social Media Ambitions: Napster Part Deux?

In light of the recent muxtape convo, I thought some people might find this article from TechCrunch interesting. It is about Mixwit and Mixaloo, two online mixtape-ish social media endeavors.

I find the Mixaloo’s compliance with Record Labels to be somewhat of the inevitable and definitely a plus for their site. On Mashable there is some discussion about how it will not be too long before individual users of these mixtape sites are going to be targeted by record labels for uploading tracks that they aren’t authorized to share (which is like, almost all of them).

Think back to the Napster days…here we go again :)

So if you don’t want record labels to come after you individually (and they likely will) then Mixaloo is definitely the most compliant so far.

I find the slide-ish functionality of Mixwit to be pretty cool and the interface pretty usable. And I really love the simplicity of Muxtape. They all bring interesting things to the table.

Thoughts?

many faces of Hayden.

The many faces of Hayden Panettiere in this month’s Seventeen Mag. There is something about her that is so refreshing. She just seems to be a real person, unlike the Lohans of the young acting world. So cute! (via Perez)

I love Africa in general — South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries.

Hi, Josh Radin. You’re standing in a rainbow.

So sad I missed this. Lovely photo Lauren! I had to miss the Hotel Cafe Tour to go to LA (Sad, sad, sad) Lauren, a tumblr friend, took this lovely photo there. I'm so sad I missed it!

getting my Vickie B. on

This is me doing my best Victoria Beckham imitation (lame I know) moments after we saw her on Rodeo…as lame as that sounds, it actually happened.

ps-I am going to stop uploading photos for now, I know how annoying it is when people post a kajillion in a row.
