Launched a couple of days ago, chat about MixCloud has been clogging up the Twitterway – a sure sign that the site has excited a lot of interest. Catch phrases are being circulated (by the people over at MixCloud) like “the YouTube of Radio” and “Rethink Radio” – an online destination site for on-demand radio shows. We say “over”, because this is a UK invention. But, hey, don’t hold that against them because the site does offer access to a lot of free music! To understand just what they are about, check out the following video:

As with YouTube, anyone can upload music (or anything audio) to the site and listeners decide who gets heard – who gets featured.

And, like any self respecting music site, it has all the usual social media built in so that users can share and discover with friends.
Current “featured” Cloudcasts (chosen by Mixcloud and guest editors) are: Mad Decent; Bestivalradio; Cheap Thrills Radio Show; Open Thread Radio; Women Are Mammals; and, Old Time Favorite.
Check it out and let us know what you think?
Just another music site, or something a more?
