In this week's Blog, I would like to look at a blogging site called Hypem.com Hypem stands for the Hype Machine. The Hype Machine in a music blog in which music is posted everyday or so for viewers to listen to. It is one of the highest visited music sites on the web because of the quality of music that they post. They also post a lot of free music that is able to be downloaded to your computer. It is popular for many reasons and I will get into that further into this.
Hypem was invented by Anthony Volodkin, a student at Hunter college in 2005. He wanted a comprehensive music blog that could embed music and be able to legally download it. Music is hard to come by at college because most students aren't able to spend a dollar everytime they want a song and they usually resort to illegal downloads. At college, that is not cool and you will usually get in a lot of trouble for copyright infringement.
The blog is very well laid out and it is very simple. For example, it has songs on the blog and you are able to play and click on every song. Some are free and provide music links while others direct you to itunes or amazon to purchase the song. This is blog is extremely easy to use and I am a huge fan of it. I use it everyday and listen to hot, new music. Hypem is a great resource for the average college student and is beloved by many. That is my entry for this week. Till next week.
