Social Network for Music - imeem
Thursday, August 28th, 2008In my constant search for new apps and sites, I stumbled upon imeem. Imeem is a social network centered on providing music for online listeners. I would say it’s extremely geared towards community building.
Imeem has some pretty cool features such as:
- customizable dashboard fully equipped with web2.0 drag and drop widgets
- extremely user friendly personalizable user profile page
- ability to add and remove dashboard widgets
- media tracker
- ability to add song and music player on to any site
- and basic SN features such as message board, friend tracker, friend finder, and customizable user profiles
Couple of features I believe would really up their game:
- user profile urls to include profiler full name (everyone loves a personalized link!)
- ability to add nicknames
- ability to post a status update
- eventually have the ability to sync up with my ping.fm account. I’m all about centralized messaging.
Imeem seems like a hybrid of facebook/myspace/lastfm. I love the ability to create personalized profiles, accounts and super easy to use profile customizability. I’m also definitely a big fan of the media tracking and “play related” function. The music selection is questionable (I’ll give it a couple of days). I see a bright future for imeem, I just hope it doesnt run into the same issues as Pandora and Lastfm.
