MTV is rolling out a new service called the Music Meter that showcases new up and coming bands and artists. Articles and analysis from:
Inventorspot ” MTV Music Meter is not a streaming service like Pandora, but much more interactive where you can drill down quickly and uncover artists daily. The functionality was built around discovery, sharing, consuming and interacting.”
Mashable ” For this project, MTV worked with music intelligence company EchoNest to develop an algorithm that combs through blogs, social media, video and more traditional metrics (like radio plays and sales) to determine which bands are receiving the most attention on any given day. “
PaidContent.org ” The main idea is for users to click or search for an artist they like and follow the recommendations that point to similar musical tastes.”
