For all you NPR listeners out there I hope you caught a great piece on All Things Considered last night titled, A Euology for the Boombox. I was listening on my bus ride home and was dragged down memory lane thinking of my old boom box, standing it on the sidewalk and skateboarding outside the house. Boom boxes were really cool, a way to share your music with your friends and neighbors whether they wanted it or not. It was a community thing, people gathered around the radio to hear the new cuts and like the piece says, many had dual tape decks so you could dub a copy for your buddies right there.
We have tried to do a similar thing with social. We have made it all about playing music you love, and sharing that music with your friends. They can check in on your profile page and Zune Card online to see your recent plays, or better yet sync your friend's Zune Card to your Zune. Now you can actually take their music with you on the go and it updates every time you sync your Zune Your friends are now programming their own mix tapes just by listening to music. Go take a listen at the link above it is a really good spot, then add me as a friend and sync me to your Zune. Tell me what you think of my mix tape. :O)
