muesli's Blog

If you're still visiting this blog and wondering why it's been oh so quiet as of lately... well, things have changed, haven't they? Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus came around the corner and blogs were suddenly too much hassle to maintain and keep uptodate. To put it technically: Blogs are pull-mode, social networks are push-mode.

Twitter trained me like a little monkey, so I'll keep it brief: The awesome Tomahawk Player is what I'm up to. It's a new kind of music player, allowing you to socially interact with your friends and (existing) social graphs, as well as turning the "Web 2.0" in media players up a notch. It leverages the wonderful services of YouTube, Spotify, Google, Grooveshark, Last.fm, Echonest, OwnCloud, Ampache, SoundCloud, Official.fm, Ex.fm, Rdio, Jabber, Twitter (to name just a few) to create a new listening experience which breaks existing boundaries. Open Spotify playlists and play it from your friend's music library, YouTube or one of many other services. Why not import the top tracks for a Last.fm tag and have the songs play from Spotify? It's up to you. Share your favourite tracks and playlists directly with your friends and listen to theirs. Coming to a system near you, whether that is running Linux, Windows or OS X.

...the first piece of opensource, I've ever written. Back at the age of 15, pretty much exactly 10 years ago. Funnily back then nobody really seemed to care or know what opensource is. Neither did anyone really realize the power behind. Except a few developers, of course. Nice to see how things have changed in retrospect. Let's just imagine what could be done in another decade. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks to google for caching it. I wouldn't have a backup otherwise, I reckon.
