MeeMix web radio service launches public beta

MeeMix
They say mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. But we have to wonder if web radio pioneers like Pandora and Last.fm are flattered or just annoyed that they've inspired a new genre of web site. MeeMix is the latest service that creates a custom web radio stream based on your personal tastes.

All you have to do to get started is visit MeeMix and type in the name of a song or artist you like. MeeMix will play a first track by that artist and then offer up music from a similar performer. If you like the next song, drag the slider over toward "hot." If not, try the cleverly titled "not" button. You don't need to register for an account to use MeeMix, but if you register you can create and save multiple channels and save your preferences.

You can also share your channels with multiple users, leave comments on songs, and share "Mee Feeds" letting your friends know what you've been up to on MeeMix. There's also Twitter integration, letting you send out tweets letting your contacts know what you've been listening to.

The music catalog seems to be decent, but hardly inclusive. And as a Tel Aviv-based company, MeeMix has an odd (to Western eyes) way of organizing your playlist. New tracks show up on the left of the display, meaning you have to scroll to the right to find previously played songs.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
