New List Of Web 2.0 Companies Shaping The Music Industry
A month ago we published a list compiled by OpenBC of the of next generation web based music companies and then updated it. It was one of our most popular postings ever; and so when we came across this new list from Econsultant.com we thought we’d share it. It’s less complete and some music related sites like PodBop are listed in other categories (in this case Event Services), but there are also some new sites worth checking out.

*** Hypebot favorites
Hi Bruce, thanks for the recognition of Music Arsenal!
I’m also a fan of Pandora and I think you should check out the 3Tunes Project. (Found the link at blackrimglasses.com). It allows you to store the tracks on Pandora as an MP3 locally to your computer. Could this be the end? I know that people aren’t happy about being able to rip XM and Sirius streams.
Last.fm as well as MP3Tunes/Oboe need to be on the list.
Here is an idea, revisit this list in a year and see which ones made it and which ones didnt.
Great list, hypebot, thanks so much. A great resource.
Keep seeing this:

May be just me, but I only got so much time in the day. Why all these sites that want me to invest time in become members of their community? Why be presumptious in thinking people are going to dedicate to your community in a sea of so many others? Seems like there is more of need to create auxilary sites to already existing communities.
Glad to see Pandora listed tho. If Pandora were a girl at a party, I’d TOTALLY ask her out.
great list. ditto on LAST.fm as thund3rbox mentioned. and thank you for not stating the obvious (myspace). I cant wait to surf the dozen or so links that I havent even heard of.
More Web 2.0 music companies
Hypebot has a second list of Web 2.0 music companies. Many of these I had not heard of before. A few of them looked interesting, like bebop. But a lot of the others looked like bandwagon hoppers, cloners. If I see social and sharin…

Which treatment to go for, which doctor to follow etc, etc. Under these circumstances people can refer to the http://www.buy-viagra-with-us.com/resources/patient_info_site.html patient info sites where they can get all the information regarding the disease, its treatments, prices etc.
