Remember back in the early '90s when themed mix tapes were all the rage? You know, ones that you give titles to like "Jivin' Drivin'"? If you loved making those for you and your friends, check out BoomShuffle. BoomShuffle is a simple tool that lets you create musical mixes, either on your own or with your friends' input. To create a mix, you don't have to register, simply click the "Create Mix" tab on the site. Then, you'll be prompted to enter in a title for and description of your mix, and you can choose one of many designs which will be displayed while your mix is playing (everything from "Beach run" to "Green swirls"). Next, you can search for music on the BoomShuffle database to add to you mix; enter in the title of a song or artist to include it. Lastly, you're presented with the option of sharing your mix with your friends by email.

"BoomShuffle is an online music experience that lets you and your friends collaborate to create great music mixes you can stream from anywhere on the Web. It's a fun way to make cool-looking mixes that play back all the hottest tracks, in their entirety, for free. Think of BoomShuffle as an Internet radio station where you and your friends are the DJs. You all choose the songs that make up the mix".

| Why it might be a killer | |||
|
|
|
BoomShuffle is slightly more customizable than other internet radio stations like Pandora or Deezer; you can choose a theme and you can easily share it with your friends. It's also less complicated to find the music you like and be able to listen to it directly, and it doesn't have the geographical limitations that Pandora does.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
What's notably absent here, I feel, is a widget. Why not let you embed your mix into your site? It seems like a logical extention of the site's functionality. Also, while I couldn't find an official count of the songs in BoomShuffle's database, it seems as though it's less extensive than other similar sites.
