A story of mine, based on Project Playlist.
A while ago, maybe a year or so, this site was introduced to me. I felt it was a pretty nice place. Casual listening and whatnot. It was especially useful during a cookout one summer's day. People were at my house, my dad was barbequeing, and the atmosphere was great. I put my speakers on full blast, and made everyone listen to good music. Eventually people would come in and request songs. It was great fun.

Post 6: A Question
Well, here's my question for whoever took the time to even read all this...
Have you ever heard of Project Playlist before? If not, have you tried after reading my project about it? Did you like it?
So it's more than one question. Feel free to do whatever...

Post 5: Tips.
So, as you all know by now, my project for This Blog Project is based on Project Playlist. This'll be my 5th post on the project so far... tips.
1. Just be sure you have internet access...
2. Go to http://www.projectplaylist.com/, and start searching.
3. It's all extremely easy.
4. Don't get frustrated if you cannot find the song/artist you were looking for. Sometimes it won't be there.

Post 4: Links.
Yeh, so I've searched around, and from what I've gathered, links are the way that blogs really kicked off. A few people started blogging, and they didn't even have the comment option embedded into the site. So, people would blog about by linking other blogs to their own blogs. And the cycle would commence.
As for Project Playlist, here is the link to the main page: http://www.projectplaylist.com/
Or, if you'd like to go straight to making your own playlist, register right here. http://www.playlist.com/toboggan/register?time=1207759057
Simple, really. Create a user name and password, type in your e-mail address, put in some optional, additional info, and you're all set.
On a related note, another cool site that is similar to Project Playlist is Pandora Radio. Check it out. http://www.pandora.com/
You can type in an artist name, create a station with that artist, and find similar artists. You can sample their music there. If you hear a song that you like on Pandora, head back over to http://www.projectplaylist.com/ and listen all you want.

Post 3: Review.
In my opinion, Project Playlist is a very useful tool anywhere. If you have a school project to do, you could get music from Project Playlist. Even if you're just at home relaxing, you can enjoy a nice song while kicking back after a long day. Listening during Computer Apps class while working on This Blog Project is also entertaining.
I especially like the option to make your own playlist. I have created two playlists so far. You can rearrange the songs as you see fit on your playlist; you can make them in a specific order for specific song listening. It's great to be able to put all of your favorite music on one playlist, and organize it the way you want.

Post 2: Question?
Is Project Playlist free? Can anyone use it? Also, is there any way I can reach back to the original site the music came from?
Yep, anyone can use Project Playlist, and it is completely free at the current time. The site came out of beta testing just recently, so this is liable to change. There is over 23 million users on Project Playlist; if they started charging even a little bit of money, they could make big bucks.
The way to get back to the original site that the music came from is simple. Under each song, there is a website. This is the original site. Also, there is a link that says "(visit site)". This will also take you to the original site.

Post 1: List.
To start off, I'll create a list on steps to reach and use Project Playlist.
1. Obviously, make sure you are connected to the internet. Project Playlist is a website, after all.
2. Open your web browser. MSN, Google, and Yahoo! are a few good examples of nice web browsers.
3. Go to http://www.projectplaylist.com/ , and you will see the main home page of Project Playlist open in front of you.
4. You should notice a search box. Under this box, it says: "enter artist name or song title". Try it.
5. Once you search for an artist name or song title, it should come up with results. In some cases, however, you may not get any results; this is because there is simply no results to show.
6. Hit the play button on a song you would like to listen to. Sometimes the link may be disabled; this is because the site the song has been submitted from may be disabled or removed.
7. Start listening!
8. On a side note, you can also create your own playlists. You can add songs to your playlist from the site itself, and then add your playlist to a webpage, such as MySpace, Facebook, etc.

Kathy Schrock's Blog
Kathy's computer is pretty cool, how one half of it is a PC and the other half is Mac. That way, she can run PC and Mac specific programs on one laptop. Splitting the hard drive in half was a good idea.
Her post on Voicethread is nice, it sounds like a neat program. It's a new way for people to connect with different media options; such a change from the regular typing.
Swatch is also cool, but I don't see why it would be much use. Unless of course you were an international traveller. Other than that, it would be nice to meet up at the same time as someone around the world.

What are some things you think blogs can be used to do?
I think that blogs can be used to talk about a similar topic, all on one page. It makes it easier to swap ideas about one topic if all users are using the same page. This way, there is not much confusion, and makes it more convinient for everyone.
Some blogs I like:
-A rock blog, with news about rock bands http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily
-A blog about guitars, with links to cool sites about guitars http://guitarz.blogspot.com/
-Finally, a blog about google (random) http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
