Mixwitting

I’ve been playing around with about 40 different beta services over the past month.

One that’s insanely easy to use and lots of fun is Mixwit, a service which lets you create mix tapes, share them and embed them in sites. Mixwit is free (unlike the commercial Mixaloo) and draws its content from Seeqpod. The quality of content is decidedly rocky (make sure you check out the tracks you add - some of them end prematurely or won’t play at all), but the mix-creation experience is fast and pleasurable.

All you do is sign up (very fast), click the My Stuff link, and work through three steps:

1. Add music (there’s a search box built in).
2. Choose a skin for your tape - or upload your own - and tinker with the font and style.
3. Publish.

Once your mix is published, you can add it to your social networking sites or your blog, link to it or simply copy and paste a piece of code - as I did in this post - and voila!
