Qloud Launches Beta Test of Tagging-Based Music Search Service

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on October 11, 2006 - 1:20pm.
Washington - Washington-based start-up Qloud (pronounced "cloud") on Wednesday announced the launch of a public beta test of its "people-powered music search service" and plug-in for Apple's iTunes music player. The search service is powered by tags generated by users on individual songs in their iTunes music libraries. Tags can be provided by music preference, demographics, and category -- such as "workout," allowing users to search, for example, for the songs most tagged "workout" and "hip-hop" by women in New York aged 20-30. "Qloud will do for music discovery what Google(TM) has done for web discovery," said Qloud co-founder Toby Murdock.
