We don’t know about you, but by the time 3:30 p.m. ET rolls around on a Friday, we’re dancing on the ceiling. Luckily for us (and you), that’s about the time when our Summer Fridays Turntable.fm room gets into full swing.
If you’re unfamiliar with Turntable.fm, get ready for bouncing avatars to start haunting your dreams. The service, which is still in beta, comes from the Stickybits team and resembles AOL chatrooms of old — a series of user-created, browser-based chatroom/listening rooms where “DJs” (a.k.a. you and others) can play songs, vote on how “lame” or “awesome” those songs are, score points for picking good tunes, and chat with others. 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.
This Friday, Mashable staff, MuseBox and The Glitch Mob will be manning the decks, spinning tracks and taking you through the dregs of your work week.
