I went to check out Turntable.fm, but it turns out I can't use it - I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, so I can't login. I understand I'm probably in the minority - or perhaps better stated, not their target audience - but you can add me to the list of folks not using the site.

Not sure if this has changed, but for a while you couldn't login if you blocked the Facebook cookie (I.E., running disconnect.me and logging in only via Twitter). Very annoying to debug.

Too much effing dubstep. When a kid comes in and starts spinning that garbage, the fans fly away.

actually from my experience it was pretty easy to avoid dubstep. yes, the more popular rooms were the edm rooms but there were definitely alternates not to mention private rooms between you and your friends.

I started using http://plug.dj the past few weeks and I'm liking it much more than turntable. For one, it's international and you can stream/watch YouTube videos and play SoundCloud in the room. There's also an option to import your Turntable playlist.

Huh.. This is a great idea.. Bring in music that is already available out there..

The real question is, how their new product Kiwi going to stand for itself against other spotify apps. I know a number of music startups, and a lot of them are making apps gunning for deeper social integration on spotify, which seems what Kiwi might be.

Also, I also hope that listmaking is a passive activity, where turntable just makes playlists for me, of what my friends are listening to. Make the decisions for me so I can focus on other things, like not DJing online.

I had never heard of this, I like it quite a bit more than Turntable so far.
