www.hypm.com - aggregator of music blogs and twitter feeds
+ pulls music from selected music blogs and lists them by latest or popular (popular depending on the amount of feedback/comments recieved)
+ handpicked from music blogs
+ songs posted on twitter are also aggregated too and listed in a twitter music chart
+ hypemachine radio show handpicks the most popular songs bloggers have posted and streams them via radio show. This features a "presenter" which encourages the selling of the songs by giving out information on albums releases.
+ the radio show also interview selected music bloggers each day, to help promote their blogs
+ each daily radio show is turned into a podcast and you can subscribe free of charge on itunes. There is also an RSS feed you can subscribe to for different parts of the site you are interested in.

+hypemachine zeitgeist pulls together the top 50 artists, albums and songs yearly - taken from 550 bloggers personal top 10 lists wighted according to their ranking.
+ design is encouraged within the site - 50 visual artists were invited to draw a piece or artwork inspired by a chosen artist
+ creating an account with hypemachine is free - allows you to favourite tracks, artists blogs and users
+ site is heavily advertised to earn revenue
+ if a blog post contains mp3 links hypemachine adds t links to its database and displays them within the front page
+ you are unable to download tracks but links are provide next to the track if it is available to download by various sources including itunes, amazon and emusic (DRM free music)
+ site users are encourage to enjoy legitimate downloadable media and to support the artists featured on the site
+ hypemachine does not choose the music which is featured so does not take responsibility for the type of music people post on their blogs
+ provides full acknowlegement of the source and author that provide the music
+ tumblr blogs are included
+ will not add any official label blogs, DJ blogs with own mixes, music promoter blogs, web music startup blogs and party photo blogs.
+ the idea is to give music bloggers a bigger voice, and get the music they are recommending out there to as many people as possible. New music being the focus.
