I’m a big music lover. Well, everyone loves music, right? Last.fm and pandora do a good job by helping you find more of the tunes you like. But these sercives seem rather “lonely”. Blip.fm is a service that I fell in love with at first sight.  The thought that came to my mind was: “woah, music twitter, pure awesomeness”. So if you want a twitter style radio station without any limitations (like last.fm’s 30 sec playtime) blip.fm is for ya. Now let’s dig a little deeper.

It kind of looks like Muxtape (in the good old times, when it was still active) and has the functionality of twitter. This is what happens after you sign up.

• You type in a message (limited to 150 characters) and choose a song to go along with it (via a nice search form).
• You find people with similar music tastes while “blipping”, or by filling out a form of your fave artists and let the system handle the search. You follow those people, listen to their blips, give out props (a token of appreciation).
• As you get into blipping, more people follow you, conversations occur. And the coolest thing is that you exchange music, if that’s an appropriate way to say that. With pandora and last.fm, the system gives you relative artists, with blip.fm – people with similar tastes hit you with tunes you like. There’s also twitter  and audioscrobbler (last.fm) integration.

There are no limitations of using the service. You can play a song as long as you like, there are no annoying advertisements etc.

If you’re a music lover, you should definitely try this. BTW my blip.fm page
