Senzari releases a searchable MusicGraph service for making musical connections by Josh Ong.
From the post:
Music data company Senzari has launched MusicGraph, a new service for discovering music by searching through graph of over a billion music-related data points.
MusicGraph includes a consumer-facing version and an API that can be used for commercial purposes. Senzari built the graph while working on the recommendation engine for its own streaming service, which has been rebranded as Wahwah.
Interestingly, MusicGraph is launching first on Firefox OS before coming to iOS, Android and Windows Phone in “the coming weeks.”
You know how much I try to avoid “practical” applications but when I saw aureliusgraphs tweet this as using the Titan database, I just had to mention it. 😉
I think this announcement underlines something a comment said recently about promoting topic maps for what they do, not because they are topic maps.
Here, graphs are being promoted as the source of a great user experience, not because they are fun, powerful, etc. (all of which is also true).
