Seriously, WTF! I repeat, WTF! Your 'app' only has one feature, which is music recommendation, right? So it has no other features to make up for it. I go there

Seriously, WTF! I repeat, WTF! Your 'app' only has one feature, which is music recommendation, right? So it has no other features to make up for it.
I go there and type 'Billie Holiday' and the first result that comes back is 'Iron Maiden'. Then comes a bunch of other seemingly random artists like Michael Jackson, Taj Mahal and so on. I don't see Ella, Louis, Anita or any of the people who usually belong to the Billie group.
You can't release an application with one feature, and that one feature does not work. This is not reverso world where the opposite of working actually works.
This is like a car being released that does not have a roof, and engine or tires. Fix your 'startup' and try again.
- furiouslol 18y agowell. he did follow the mantra of 'release early, release often' anyway, like what max said, if you release the app with only one feature, make sure that feature works. (eg. google - search, muxtape - make muxtapes) The recommendations spewed by your engine is pretty bad honestly. I don't see how a Michael Jackson fan would want to listen to Cyndi Lauper or Taj Mahal. Try bettering Pandora's recommendation engine. They're the ones to beat.

- maryrosecook 18y agoYep, you've made a good point. Billie Holiday -> Iron Maiden != good recommendation. That sort of insanity will be filtered out as more music taste data is collected from users. Thanks very much for the feedback.
- shafqat 18y agoClassy response after some pretty rough comments! Keep iterating and releasing. Good luck.
- davidw 18y agoI kind of like the idea of a Bille Holiday/Iron Maiden mashup. "Lady sings the UAAAAGGHGHGHGHGH"?
