I tend to agree regarding Facebook and Twitter, I'm not sure I'm going
to use those much. But I do think this is just the tip if the ice berg,
the social thing is really interesting and we are just starting to see
the first development in this direction. Logitech did some initial
integration with Facebook but as usual they stopped after the initial
release when they had enough to put justify a Facebook logo on the box.
In my mind they were really just looking for the logo for the marketing
and not for the social experience.
How do you get tips of new music ?
For me, I usually find new music when I'm not sitting beside my
Squeezebox, and it would be great to have some improved way to:
- Remember recommendations of new music I got while sitting beside a
computer somewhere else than at home
- Remember recommendations of new music I got when not sitting beside a
computer
- Be able to get recommendations of new music from other people (not
necessarily real world friends) with similar taste
- Easily be able to play all the above recommendations on my Squeezebox
when I get home
So I do think we need to start thinking about how to take this to the
next step. As an example, think about the "Music" section of this
forum, wouldn't it be great if you could easily play all the
recommendations posted there on your Squeezebox ?

Isn't it only a "Share this..." link in the context menu of a track,
doesn't feel like this makes it a lot more complex to use but maybe I'm
missing something ?
