Like you, I wasn't sure what to make of it initially: part twitter part music service, it seemed to me at first that it was neither fish nor fowl. You make an interesting point though that it does suggest a possible monetization route for twitter. As an avid twitter user, I've been worrying of late that <a href="http://www.stubbornmule.net/2008/08/microblogging/" rel="nofollow">twitter may not survive</a>, so ideas like this are, at the very least, food for thought. Music can be a tricky area though. Back in April, the c-net blog Webware asked whether mixwit and muxtape were on solid legal ground, and sure enough, muxtape has now been shut down. I hope blip.fm works its way through this legal minefield. Anyway, good post...I can feel one coming on myself! I have only just discovered blip.fm myself.
