Yahoo Music Partnering With The Echo Nest
By: Larry Lootsteen
The Echo Nest is a company that specializes in Web personalization technology, especially in the field of music. These are the learning tools that examine (and potentially invade) your likes and tastes to provde recommendations. As you can imagine, music related services are keyed on this ability to be both in your ear and on your devices in order to provide input to what you might like to listen to. This is an area rife with potential overreach.
Yahoo Music is partnering with The Echo Nest to provide dynamic artist biographies as well as music discovery.
