MyMusic is now on Bebo

Today we announced that we’re launching our popular MyMusic application on the Bebo network. Bebo’s the 3rd largest social network in the world behind Facebook and MySpace and we’ll be one of 5 music applications that users can choose to use on their service.

Similar to our facebook application (which is approaching over 2 million installs), the Bebo application will have a Library page, a page displaying My Friends Music, and a Charts page. The applciation will also have a new game called “Name that Artist” which will challenge you to name an artist in 10 seconds based on a short clip of their music and part of their Wikipedia information.

New Databases and Qloud.com is Buggy

We are currently doing some radical changes to our database system. As a result, the Qloud.com site is buggy and certain parts are just not working at all. All changes should be resolved soon.

Also, you may at certain times see that your plays are not synching exactly with what you’re playing. This is also due to the new database system.

We apologize for this and are working hard to bring the site back to normal

Find Others in Qloud

We did a small update today to the site to allow you to more easily find other users in Qloud. You can now find users on qloud that are the same age, live in the same area, or listen to the same music as you. To do this, all you need to do is click the “Find Others” button at the bottom left of the Qloud page (or click here)

Also with this feature, you can open up collective libraries of users. For example, i could open up a library of all women ages 20-30 who live in New York. I can then sort it to see what the most popular songs are for them in the past month. It’s quite interesting to see what people listen to in different areas. Check it out for yourself…

New Beta Available

We’ve removed the old Qloud site and placed up our new beta service. If you were a Qloud user in the past, the same username/pass will allow you to get access to the new site. If you haven’t ever used Qloud, you can sign-up to get access by submitting your email address. We’re going to limit access to the first 5,000 users for now, so if you’re anxious to get in, you should hurry.

As with most beta sites, there are still some bugs so please feel free to submit any problems you’re having with either the site or the plugin. Thanks as always for your feedback

Mac Plugin for 7.2

As i mentioned in the previous post, our past plugin was not compatible yet with the new iTunes. We’ve made some tweaks and have a version that is not compatible.
