Listening to your favorite music while surfing the net can be a real treat. Online Radio! For music lovers it way enhances the time spent at your computer. We recently did a show on this very topic at Blogs and Social Networks online radio called Online Radio 🙂 Listen in for even more online radio ideas.

Live365 and Jango – Find stations that play your favorites, not so much a “design your own” radio station, but a location search first. Live365 has an upgrade option for VIP membership but check it as a free member to see what you think of it. The navigator is very different from Jango and has less “fluff” and “bling” but more tabs. Both sites are easy to get around but each with a much different style. Jango comes complete with an embeddable Jukebox 🙂

BlogNut.net (for the social network) and BlogNutToolbar.com (to get your free toolbar!) – The fastest easiest place to listen into online radio is from your toolbar 🙂 Blog Nut Toolbar is a free to download and use handy Internet tool complete with a radio! This online radio player let’s you listen in to online radio stations and even podcasts like BlogsAndSocialNetworks.info 🙂 Set your own stations, find local stations for radio customization. Request sites that you want listed at Blog Nut Toolbar for an added bonus .. You Create … Blog Nuts Build 🙂

New.Music.Yahoo.com – With Video Playlists, over 150 radio stations, on any browser, and with Mac or PC. Yahoo music has it covered 🙂

Pandora – Type in your favorite artist and get your playlist:)

Accuradio – Build your own channel! Having every type of music you could search for like Canadian Pop, English, French, Folk, Christian Pop, Rock, and many more genres to select from 🙂

Slacker.com – Create a Station, Upgrade to Radio Plus, and option to buy a portable player.
Don’t forget about your local stations 🙂 Most have an online site to listen in, get info on songs, artists, local concerts and much more. We have K92FM and 97 Country WPCV for our local country stations. Visit them by clicking the pics 🙂

The advance in technology in the last twenty years has been incredible. From the beginnings of television, advertising has been a focal point and to merge Internet with television has been a focus of this age.
In the ’90’s the technology gurus had tried to first incorporate the Internet into the television and now we have the television on the Internet. All access to your favorite shows from your computer screens instead of the original plan of all Internet access from your television monitor. Web TV and interactive television became quite mainstream in the latter part of the 1990’s and came in a set top box form to connect to your tv. Today, we have the Wii which is Nintendo’s game console that connects to your television much like a Web TV set top box did and allows you to surf the Internet, check your email, and play online games, also much like Web TV. Another company who is holding on to the idea of merging TV and Internet is Yahoo.
Yahoo is working on their own Web TV. A free to use, “widget” based system where web widgets would line the bottom of your television viewing screen giving some interaction to the user. Widgets do not encompass the full spectrum of Internet reach though and will allow users the “section” of Internet activity that each individual widget offers. Having a defined focus for engaging without the use of a type pad, Yahoo’s choice of widgets should be a click away for the information offered in them. Their will be no “browser” selection or web search capability planned for now, but Yahoo may indeed be the breakthough company to the highway from the television to the Internet.
The incredible growth on the Internet taking the flip side view (from Internet PC to television access) is, however, quite massive. Sites have sprung into being on this concept alone and other sites have expanded their “text” and photo format to use this technology to feature and highlight a given topic of the site.
Flixster is a social network created for TV and movie lovers alike. Actually a place from your personal PC to watch, rate, and interact with friends while enjoying the shows and films you love. While sites that feature individual television shows have incorporated video for viewing these featured shows directly from the net. Sites like The History Channel, CBN, CNN, or Discovery and SciFi come to mind here for it’s programming efforts viewable online.
Are we choosing to leave the comforts of the living room, with the big screen and recliners for the desk style settings of an office? My guess would be no from the amount of chatter about having to “tough it out” on the PC to catch up on missed television shows or hearing “I wish I could watch the YouTube videos from my big screen”. Trading comfort for convenience is the issue at hand in this scenario.
So, whether the future of TV is on the Internet or the future of the Internet is attainable through your TV is yet to be seen. Watching the reels spin will be an interesting event. Action!

This is a site with condensed news and information ( highlighting, it seems, the master of the searches, Google ). Find the latest, most up to date topics of interest where search engine optization and other related announcements are posted. News from Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Ask, AOL, and more. The site is easy to navigate with tabbing across the top for the major topics and an “on site” search box to look up any topic of searching the Internet you can think of. Subscribing to the newsletter (about half way down the page on the right) will keep you up to date or subscribe along the top to the RSS Feed or add to Bloglines, Netvibes, Google, Windows Live, or My Yahoo.
