Weekly Kickass Web App - Mix Turtle
By Megalongcat • Nov 8th, 2008 • Category: Applications, Interactive, Recent Posts, Weekly Kickass Web AppMegalongcat reporting in for /b…hello everyone! It’s your favorite writer at Creative Fluff who’s decided to drop the weekly kickass web app. And for those of you that constantly read our blog, I know that we’ve never done a weekly web app but we’re starting tonight! The web application we’ve chosen tonight based on a personal late night bias that I have while drinking coffee, and that bias is anything that provides me with good music to keep me company. And since Songza is becoming a little too crowded I’ve made it a point to provide you guys with something better: Mix Turtle.
Mix Turtle is an online Music search engine that was released (I believe) in October and provides a web/browser based system for users to peruse their favorite songs and create relevant playlists according to their personal preferences. Where Mix Turtle succeeds and what sets it apart from something like Pandora and Songza is that not only is it free to use, it doesn’t suffer from the same server hiccups as Songza (youtube always seems to crap out when Songza is querying it for songs for reasons I can’t fathom). It’s managed to deliver high quality streaming music at relativily quick speeds on top of providing me with diverse song results. For anyone who listens to music and hates dealing with copyright laws and downloading issues, give it a go. You can check out the website at: Mixturtle.com
