I'd like to share a site I found yesterday that provides a really cool service. GrooveShark is a Pandora-like music service in that you enter an artist, song or album you want to hear. Where it differs though is that it actually plays the what you put in, not just songs like it. GrooveShark will play entire albums and you can create playlists of all kinds of different music. It's kind of like having someone elses massic music collection at your finger tips. Fortunately it usually has the music you're looking for.
GrooveShark gets its music from its users. You can use the upload link and find songs on your computer you want to share with the world. After uploading your music you can share a link to that song or album with your friends via Twitter, Facebook, or any other number of social networking sites. The best part of all this? It's free...

Love it or hate it Amazon's Kindle has been in a one horse race since it's debut in November of 2007. Sure there are other eBook readers but none that integrate a bookstore that allows immediate wireless downloads. Now Barnes and Noble have thrown their hat in to the ring by launching their own eBook store. Even more interesting however is that they signed a deal with Plastic Logic who will produce a Kindle-esque device early in 2010. There is no word yet as to whether or not the device will include a wireless data card to allow instant downloading of books. It is clear however that the ebooks Barnes and Nobles will sell will not be compatible with Amazon's Kindle or Sony's eBook readers.
