I came across a new service today that I am really loving.  It’s called Mixcloud.  In thier words “Mixcloud is a London based startup, with a home in the warehouse pictured in West West London. We’re friends old and new (many of whom met at Cambridge University) connected by our love for radio, problem solving and building exciting new projects.

It was through this intersection of interests that we realised there’s an obvious problem on the Internet that we need to fix – that of connecting radio shows, DJ mixes and Podcasts to listeners.  We think all these forms of content offer a very similar listening experience – a “Cloudcast” – that is curated by a human enthusiast or expert.

That’s the important bit – we’ve always discovered great new things through people we respect, so we want to help guide listeners to those people more easily.  We also believe in simplicity. We love clean design, enjoyable user experience, intuitive navigation and clear information architecture.”

Having had a play around with the site, I will definitely be using them again. I suggest you check them out and find out for yourselves whether they  really will be the youtube of radio.  You can check them out here: www.mixcloud.com
