I have been working on my MySpace page getting it all nice and festive for Halloween. Ms. Jennifer from WA (Thank you!!!!) told me about this cool music/social networking site, Project Playlist, and I tried it and I REALLY liked it. I went to town and made a really nice spooky playlist so I could get my Halloween groove on and BAM! I go to my MySpace page (9/27/07) and my Project Playlist tunes won't play. MELTDOWN!! cause I Googled "MySpace and Project Playlist" and found out that MySpace had blocked Project Playlist....in the past. Apparently the problem on 9/27/07 was something unrelated to MySpace. The problem has been fixed and my tunes are playing today (9/28/07).
The serendipitous fallout of my overheated Google search for answers led me to Mashable , a social networking site that allows you to organize your other social networking sites, your sites where you organize your social networking sites, blogs, etc, and more. Mashable calls it The Grid.
Interestingly enough when I first went to Mashable around 7 AM, after discovering that I was tuneless, I found a post dated April 07 that talked about the MySpace/Project Playlist blocking issue and advised Project Playlist fans to protest the blocking because when MySpace blocked YouTube, MySpacers complained and YouTube was no longer blocked. When I looked for this post again at work when I started drafting this post to rant about Big Bad MySpace blocking my music, the 4/07 Mashable post was gone and my broken Project Playlist widget was displaying a new message that the MySpace music would be back on soon! I must not have been the only one blaming MySpace for the problem.
Things happen fast on the web. So the end of my long and winding rant is that I ended up setting up a Mashable account and now have yet another social networking account! I also discovered Dizzler, another music widget site that I found on another librarian's MySpace, and am playing with that. Nice to be able to put my musical eggs in more than one basket!
