I'm a Mogger

MOG TV, which came out of beta at the end of March, claims to represent the next generation of social networking sites. It is created around music recommendations. However, instead of simply meeting other people with similar musical taste, MOG TV recommends music videos for you based on the songs in your computer's music library. It's "Pandora.com meets YouTube," with all kinds of music-infused word of mouth possibilities.

You download their MOG-O-MATIC application, which tracks everything you listen to on your computer and iPod. It then automatically posts this information to your profile page on MOG, enabling anyone in the community to instantly see what you're listening to. After crunching this information for a few minutes, MOG connects you to other users it "thinks" you are most musically compatible with. You can start conversations, get, and spread recommendations, or just plain listen to your and your new friends' faves, like RadioHead's "Where I end and you begin" piece:



I set up my page with a few clicks. Let's hear those compatible notes from my soul (music) mates ... don't leave my MOG Meter's Status at "Below the Radar!"
