An executive from social-music site Imeem told CNET News just days ago that the company would not be going through a round of layoffs. Well, not quite. Imeem's vice president of marketing, Matt Graves, said the question was actually "whether we had done layoffs, not whether we were going to," and that he answered accordingly. Sneaky! He proceeded to confirm a report from PaidContent that a quarter of the company has been laid off. "There's not as much money floating around the market, and we had to cut our costs to accommodate," Graves said. He added that the layoffs are companywide--"finance, marketing, communications, product, technical operations"--clarifying the PaidContent assertion that the layoffs had been primarily "on the technical back-end side." He would not comment on the other half of PaidContent's report--that Imeem is planning to shop itself to prospective buyers. PaidContent's Rafat Ali added that Imeem's projected valuation is more than $200 million, a figure that many media and technology companies might not be willing to fork over at this point. Imeem has taken venture funding from Sequoia Capital, a firm that has advocated extreme caution and frugality amid financial panic. Another Sequoia-backed company, Jive Software, cut a third of its employees within days of the now-famous letter from the venture firm to its portfolio CEOs.

类似 del.icio.us， 区别是专门为了网上的视屏和音频而生。此网站称自己为"Social Media Organizer"（社会媒体管理器）。可以让你保存管理网上你中意的视屏音频连接，并给他们加标签，制作成播放列表，并且还有类似DIGG的投票功能，给你喜欢或不喜欢的用户播放列表投票。到目前为止这一网上服务仅支持来自YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo! Video, 和 iFilm 的视频。不过其实，这已经足够了，因为大部分的视频不就是来自这些地方么。在音频方面，还有很大的局限性，不过还是值得一看的。

Last.fm是一个基于Web 2.0概念开发的音乐社群，有别于普通音乐网站仅提供歌曲资料，该网站透过记录及统计用户喜欢收听的乐曲类别，将素未谋面但喜爱同一歌手或同类音乐的乐迷连结起来，例如你喜欢周杰仑的歌曲，网站就为你找来一群同样喜欢周杰仑的乐迷，很多的粉丝可以集中在一起相互交换自己收藏的歌星的资料信息.从此听音乐不再是一件孤独的事。

是一个与众不同的平台，在这里你可以和朋友一起寻找、分享你们喜爱的音乐，并可通过社区中"人"的作用，实现其他音乐分享网站目前所无法提供的多种音乐互动体验等等。虾米的另外一个亮点是通过用户的奖惩机制来激发用户对于音乐资源的发布与分享行为，通过专属的P2P软件上传和下载没有DRM保护的高品质MP3音乐，同时能够在上传和下载过程中赚取用于在虾米网进行虚拟消费的虾米零花钱等。 EBC81135DBDAAD6C4129DC27587D661A 虾米(Xiami):全新发布的音乐分享平台 By Web2.0 盗盗 另外，值得关注的是，虾米网对于上载文件具有较高的门槛：首先，他们只接受整张专辑（或者EP）上传，并且提供了较为完善的专辑认证机制；其次，通过P2P软件上载的MP3压缩比率必须在192K以上，同时对于格式混乱的专辑而言，甚至会被虾米平台拒绝等。对于像虾米这样新兴的互联网音乐分享平台，设置如此之高的用户门槛，其实很难简单评价好与坏以及他们之间的利弊关系。一般理论上而言，只有低门槛的平台，才能将资源进行最大程度上的整合、开放和再利用；相反的，高门槛只会在一定程度上限制了部分用户的进入；但是，对于MP3下载这个比较特殊的网络服务来说，一个有趣的话题由此展开，那就是，伴随着音视频编解码芯片的不断升级，事实上越来越多的MP3用户更希望下载到高品质的音乐。虾米网的不平衡之处，真正渴望贡献内容的高端用户被拒之门外，而只知道索取不知道分享的用户却可以轻松进入其中并获取他们所需的东西……

I love finding good music mashups, and MusicMesh is definitely one of the better ones that I've come across lately. You've got a lot to look at here: just type in your favorite artist's name and you'll be treated to a smattering of related albums plus what you're looking for, as well as YouTube vids, track listings, user reviews, Wikipedia entries, etc. I got pretty distracted following the related music suggestions; they seem to be pretty well thought out as compared to other music services that in my experience can put some pretty wild stuff together. Worth a look and a listen.- Wendy Boswell

SplashCast enables anyone to create streaming media 'channels' that combine video, music, photos, narration, text and RSS feeds. These user-generated channels can be played and easily syndicated on any web site, blog, or social network page. When channel owners modify their channel, their content is automatically updated across all the web pages 'tuned' to that channel.
