Crowdsourcing Music Wikis - Amazon Launches SoundUnwound.com


[Edit]
|
Amazon.com wants to hone in on Wikipedia as the source for all their content. Specifically, Amazon.com wants their SoundUnwound.com site to be the place to go for everything musical. Users can build and edit a page about any band, label, album or song, wiki-style. To bump things along, Amazon has added music from its retail site and data from the Internet Movie Database and Musicbraize. To ensure no inappropriate content, all changes will be moderated before approval by Amazon staffers. Via: blog.wired |
