JUST LAUNCHED: MYSTRANDS.TV

Sun, September 09, 2007  

In their blog, MyStrands (creaters of a social recommender engine) recently announced a beta version of MyStrands.TV - a free, personalized, Internet music television, with countless channels featuring music videos and concert footage just for you. You can watch channels that have been personalized for (and by) your friends, family, influencers and anyone else you come across.

According to MyStrands the future of the web is about personalization. Personalized TV stations, personalized news, personalized advertising, personalized shopping experiences, personalized music, no matter where you are or what you are doing.

At MyStrands.TV you can watch an endless number of personalized videos with the simple click of a button - and easily share them with your friends. You can also watch Artist Channels, Genre Channels, and even User Channels.

Whether you have been lucky enough to attend concerts by artists like Kraftwerk or you are among the millions of Avril Lavigne music video fans, or anything in between - MyStrands.TV has them and many other artists as well.

You can create an “Avril Lavigne-only channel” or you can build a channel of music videos and concerts of artists similar to Avril Lavigne. Or you can just ask MyStrands.TV to give you videos based on what you listen to. It’s up to you.

If you already have a MyStrands account then you just log into MyStrands.TV and start enjoying a music channel of music videos and concerts that are personalized specifically for you. Want to veer off course a little? Great, under the video player there is a selection that will help you select the next song in the playlist to be either: 1) From a Similar Artist, 2) From the Same Artist, or 3) From a Different (non-similar) Artist that you may also like. Away you go.

While you’re listening, bookmark your favorite videos or check out other people that have recently listened to the artist. Jump over to another recommended artist or recommended channel. It’s up to you; use it as an interactive video channel or just let it run in the background like radio.

If you don’t have a MyStrands account, and want to just try out MyStrands.TV before deciding whether to sign up, just type in the name of an artist and they’ll build a custom music video channel for you.

MyStrands.TV is powered by OpenStrands, MyStrands Public APIs and YouTube.
