Experimenting with Google AppEngine
I finally got my invite to AppEngine (Google’s new webhosting service)… I get to make 3 apps during the BETA period. My first app is at http://blingsearch.appspot.com It basically puts your myspace theme colors, fonts, and backgrounds onto google search. Here is some random persons theme for an example…… http://blingsearch.appspot.com/heatheralexus The development...

last.fm vs pandora
pandora’s system has the potential to be better than a tag based music selection system a la last.fm. In an ideal world I would be able to say I want to listen songs about trains with a fiddle solo, and a female co-singer, and then create a radio station around that genre. However, although pandora has all of that info via the music genome, pandora only lets you display your preferences...

myspace
I for one am very excited about the upcoming myspace api. It coincides nicely with the project I am working on ( an online flash hangman game with social features ).
