GOOM Radio Launches "Reinventing Radio for the Internet Generation"

The name sounds like a cross between Google and Imeem. I smell copyright infringement lawsuits if this website takes off later this year... but the technology itself sounds like broadcast scheduling and automation has just been given over to the listener.

Goom Radio officially launched in America with the mission of "reinventing radio for the Internet generation."

Here's how it works:

"Goom's technology literally lets the user create their own radio station," says Goom's head of programming, former longtime Z100 (WHTZ)-New York music director-night jock Tim "Romeo" Herbster. "You become the DJ, you pick the songs, you control the dayparting and how frequently you hear everything. You can create your own podcasting content to upload to your radio station. You get to serve as a tastemaker and a curator," he says. "We're all about letting everyone hear what's new and what's great, and this is a platform that really takes blogging to the next level in that sense." Read More>>
