Liveplasma.com - Discover Movies & Artists

Liveplasma.com is a discovery engine, where you can find new movies and artists based on your other favorite artists/movies. You enter your favorite artist, for example, and they list that artist's albums as well as create a map of like-minded artists for you to try. They genre is not new, but what is unique is the fact that it is offered in german, spanish and french. If their catalog includes local artists from those countries, this is truly an international search engine that deserves merit and attention. I liked the visual flash applications on the site, but miss the ability to purchase the movies and music right there on the site.

Liveplasma is a new way to broaden your cultural horizons according to your taste in movies and music. Look for your favorite bands, movies or directors to obtain a map that details other potential interests.

This site is in four languages, which immediately makes it stand out. The key for the site is if it includes local artists from all those countries. The visual flash applications of the site make it easy to use and appealing.

Does the site include local artists and movies? The site has great traffic, but I didn't see any sponsorships and ads -- how are they making money? The site seems to be a one-man operation -- how is he creating these catalogs? Finally, why is the site not connected to any retail stores to purchase the music and movies?
