uPlayMe is taking the social networking trend and twisting it a bit. uPlayMe is an application designed to link people with similar tastes in musical artists, songs or genres. You instal software on your computer which then scans for music recently played on your computer or iPod and connects you with other uPlayMe users who share your music tastes. The program continues to run in the background, constantly updating your matches based on what you’re listening to. Unlike MySpace and Facebook where you can be fake friends with all the people you want uPlayMe actually matches you up with other people who share your common interests. Like most Web 2.0 sites you also have the ability to chat with these “friends:, visit their personal pages on other sites like MySpace, or just find new music to listen to!

This is not to be confused with the Pandora music service, which recommends and updates recommendations (much like Netflix or Amazon) new music to listen to based on a specific artist, song, album, or genre that you are interested in.
