Tuneglue: Mashup for Similar Music
I just ran across TuneGlue, a Flash-based mashup for finding similar music via Last.fm and Amazon (UK) APIs. You give the tool an artist name and it generates a cool web-like structure linking together artist names. You can expand the web by finding similar artists to the similar artists, and it will interlink any of the existing artist bubbles that appear. It also integrates with the Amazon API, allowing you to browse any artists albums and tracklists from Amazon. It reminds me of the digg swarm Flash visualization tool for digg.
