Nice work! It kinda reminds me of the "dj-esque" site a friend and I made: http://www.turntubelist.com http://www.turntubelist.com - but more "now" ;)

  Thanks! Incidentally if anyone wants to see what my friends and I were listening to today search #cueyoutube on Twitter!

I love it! Can I offer some suggestions? 1. Change the name. Make it pretty. 2. The landing page should be a list of what people are listening to right now. (If not enough people, fake it. Come up with a few dozen playlists based on radio stations, etc.) I should be able to jump right in to a playlist. 3. Offer to let people sign in via FB, Twitter, or G+. Promote sharing their playlists. 4. Recommendations. If I have The Eels 'My Timing Is Off', let me find other playlists with that song, and of those that have the song, what comes next in their playlist? 5. Cue playlists, so that when one ends, the next begins. Offer shuffle. Personally, I always thought YouTube was the big disrupter in music, and no one seemed to use it. If you play this right, you have a hit on your hands.

  Thanks so much for this great feedback. One thing I am interested in maintaining is the "non-logging in-ness" of the system - in fact if I wanted to create a tool for managing it I might even create it as a kind of optional add-on maybe even on a different domain. My personal ideal way for this to play out is that each morning I can look at the #cueyoutube hashtag on Twitter and just list to some lists, then if I feel like it post my own, but that I don't have any sense of posession or investment. For example here is a quick list I made of some African style guitar music that I like: http://ly1.fr/_pApFA http://ly1.fr/_pApFA The other important thing for me is that I need to be fixing or changing things in response to demand from lots of people. This was a weekend project but I have several other "real" projects[1][2][3] that are taking up vast amounts of my time. For this purpose I've setup a UserVoice forum and I would love it if you could add your voice to the crowd! http://cueyoutube.uservoice.com/ http://cueyoutube.uservoice.com/ [1] http://decalcms.com/ http://decalcms.com/ [2] http://8centsms.com/ http://8centsms.com/ [3] http://flymessage.com/ http://flymessage.com/
