Introducing QBlog Radio
By QBlog in
Today the Quixtar BLOG introduces a new feature called "QBlog Radio." The "radio" is on the right side of the home page and you'll need Flash Player to use it (you already have Flash Player if you see the radio box).
How It Works
Each day the QBlog Radio will feature a new song for your listening pleasure. To listen, click the play button. To mute (or stop) the song, just click the "stop" box. It functions sort of like most music players.
I'm working on a tool that will allow you to comment on each song, request a new song and look up details of any previously featured song. I plan to roll that out sometime this week.
The Purpose
The reason for the QBlog Radio is twofold.
1.) I love music and want to share some cool tunes with the QBlog audience.
2.) I'm always seeking ways to make this blog more dynamic and compelling. Adding a "radio" seems like a good way to enhance this blog and accomplish that goal. Now you have one more reason to visit the Quixtar BLOG (or I guess one more reason to avoid it if you hate the "radio").
Also, I just think it's cool. Don't you?
Comments
WoW! great idea.
If this radio can some how contain some non-music stuff as well? a commentry from some forum member or some interview with q official etc.? I'd love to hear it.
2 thumbs up from my 18 and 20 year old on your taste in music..."Where's your head at"; they say IT ROCKS!
although they still think the name webraw is kinda geeky
Qblog,
Very cool. You scooped me again. I was just looking at something like this for my blog. Any chance of adding a video clip of the day feature in the future? How about something like the first episode of Gilligan's Island? Classic!
