This looks really interesting, but to be completely honest, I lost all interest once I saw that there was no other option but to sign up with Facebook.<p>As a developer, I understand the business and UX need for it, but it still manages to turn me away from really interesting services. It looks like you're looking to improve on this pain-point, so I'll definitely check this out later. :)<p>I'd also love it if the About page was on your own site as well. Linking to the Facebook app page feels like you were a little rushed.
I’m one of the co-founders and just wanted to give a bit more info on what we’re trying to do with wavo.me. We’re artists, bloggers, event organizers and fans. We’ve felt for some time that existing services are missing key parts of the music experience. A truly excellent music service should connect artists, bloggers, labels and fans together. It should create a community that encourages discovery and dialogue. Wavo.me is our attempt to create a social network for music.<p>We’ve started with a service similar to Pinterest -- A simple and beautiful way to discover, collect and share music with friends.<p>It’s a big project. We’re at the very beginning and we’d love your feedback.<p>(FYI, you can only sign up with Facebook right now... We know, we know... alternative ways of signing in are coming, along with a mobile version)
FYI for anyone else running Ghostery: you have to disable it to get the site to load at all. Seems to get stuck in a permanent "loading" loop if it doesn't detect the FB social plugin script.<p>Developers: if you care about privacy-conscious users, you may want to fix that.
I like wavo but before I tell you why I like it let me tell you what I don’t like. I simply hate the whole facebook sign in option… (looks like I’m not the only one) Therefore it’s been a long time since I had checked my wavo profile. I don’t hate facebook but sometimes you don’t want to share every single thing.<p>Now what I like: the UI is great.<p>Let me dig deeper and share with you my experience with wavo. Like I said I never sign in but every week I receive an e-mail from them. In that e-mail I have links to a playlist. The playlist is what’s popular at the moment on wavo.<p>This is the single feature that I love because I am able to discover new artists and new songs. Some songs are mainstream but the vast majority is not.<p>Of course I would love to tell you that there are more features on wavo but I simply don’t bother to sign in.
The UI is phenomenal, the overemphasis on Facebook sharing (not login) annoyed me though. I really, really don't want you auto-posting what I'm listening to/doing to Facebook. Spotify & Songza do it and it drives me insane.<p>It's actually the main reason why I stopped using SocialCam & Viddy. I couldn't trust the service. "Normals" probably don't have the same problem with it, but I personally hate it.<p>(As a side-note, I have no problem posting great songs I listen to on Hype Machine to Facebook & Twitter. I just want to be in control of what is posted.)
Very much dislike having to use Facebook account...lame...
If users want to integrate Facebook give that option to them, but dont exclusively require a FB login...laame<p>UI is a little confusing and could be overwhelming for alot of folks.<p>However...This is a nice idea here. I have found several really great songs I had never heard of before in minutes! Perfect for people at work wanting to find new tunes.<p>What happens if a video that is on the popular list is deleted at some point by the source?
I would've loved to try it and I don't mind the Connect with Facebook option like some folks do (I prefer it). But I didn't try it because it said that you required access to my email address. No thanks. My email isn't hidden or special (it's in my profile, for example) but I have a real problem with giving it up in exchange for registration without a clear reason ("We need your email to do x, y, and z") and without a clear sense of whether you're going to sell my info.
Hi guys,<p>Great app. Awesome UI.<p>Two things:
1 - Typo I noticed straight away: "Refer someone to wavo and increate your reach by +20." increate --> increase.
2 - On that note, how DO i refer someone? As in, how can the application know that it was I who referred them?
Great site! I'm listening to "Slow Dancing in a burning room" while writing this comment.<p>You can even listen to "lisp programming" ;-)

This looks very similar to the new MySpace: <a href="http://new.myspace.com" rel="nofollow">http://new.myspace.com</a>, except it features Facebook integration where new.MySpace has much richer features for content producers.
very cool stuff. It was a little confusing for me to get which things were actually the "playlists" versus the tracks versus the charts.<p>do you have a bug-report system or anything set up? after clicking on a chart, under the div "influencers" the tooltip isn't displaying properly. (background of the tooltip might be transparent or something, I'll look into it more to figure out exactly what the problem is)<p>Otherwise, cool site. I'm actually working on a company that might be an interesting partnership for you. my email should be on my profile if you are interested.
Turned off by the tacky as heck (and surely unlicensed) Ryan Gosling/Kate Upton posters I have seen all over Montreal promoting this. Not to mention the misleading hubris.
Seems cool but I noticed a problem with Chrome on OSX (I assume this affects all browsers).<p>The right scroll arrow is blocked by the page scroll bar:
