A good number of us over at Mashable have become thoroughly obsessed with new startup Turntable.fm. Therefore, we have decided to spread that obsession by launching our very own Turntable.fm room, where you can join us in some Friday spinning.
If you’re unfamiliar with Turntable.fm — well, then get ready for a litany of bouncing avatars to start haunting your very dreams. The startup, which is still in beta, comes from the Stickybits team and is basically like (musical) AOL chatrooms of old â a series of user-created browser-based chatroom/listening rooms where âDJsâ (a.k.a. you and others) can play songs, vote on how âlameâ or âawesomeâ those songs are, score points for picking good tunes, and chat with others in a sidebar. You can choose songs from a MediaNet-powered library or upload your own. Sadly, the site is no longer open to anyone outside the U.S. because of Turntable’s efforts to stay DMCA compliant.
Now that you have all the details, drop by the Mashable Turntable.fm room where myself (Brenna Ehrlich), copy editor Brian Anthony Hernandez, community assistant Stephanie Haberman, community intern Chelsea Stark and other Mashable staff will be spinning. Try your hand at DJing, if you wish, or just crank up the jams and sweat out the rest of your Friday.
