Music Video recommendations for YouTube

myMusik.us is a video recommendation service. You enter an artist's name and myMusik generates a video playlist with recommendations of artists similar in taste. If you choose to focus on the artist alone, you can skip recommendations.

Why is this interesting or important?
Getting a lot of relevant content with very little input is key to "entertainment". Browsing YouTube is fun.... initially. Then, it gets boring. Reading YouTube viewers' comments is lame. "Awesome, dude", "U2 rocks maan....", "Get this OFF the air..." is the reason why blogs will never replace serious journalism.
myMusik.us analyzing your viewing habits and providing tools to tailor your choices is the next step in entertainment. YouTube is a fantastic hosting platform. myMusik.us adds intelligence to YouTube.

Here are some tips to using myMusik effectively-
  • You can either enter an artist name or a song name. If you enter a song name, recommendations will not be generated for the artist.
  • You can entertain your child for an hour-enter "Finding Nemo", for example. Watch the recommendations. Thats entertainment.
Enjoy and happy memorial day weekend....

myMusik.us is launched....

Mother's day, May 13th 2007.
I can't think of a better way to say "Mom-thanks.....". And....

Your son watches way too many music videos on YouTube:-) And is too lazy to explore videos one at a time. How about packaging a bunch of relevant videos together? And figuring out my taste via my choices. I think http://www.myMusik.us is a step in that direction.

I am not sure if the mother ship (YouTube) will survive in its current form. I hope it does. But here are some relevant sites in the same league as myMusik.us
