I don’t thing the social networking site tagworld would ever come close as in music goes as myspace does but it’s good to see tagowrld moving in that direction.

[...] Tunefeed, a new service from Faces.com that will be launching soon, will allow people to upload music to a locker and then put a Flash widget on a website to allow visitors to play the music. MySpace has a limited way of doing this already, and TagWorld has a very robust service. But for those of us with normal blogs, Tunefeed could be a fun way to share music. I’m looking forward to testing this out on TechCrunch.Sign up for the beta on the Tunefeed home page. You can also see an example of the widget there. Another cool company from Australia. [...]

[...] TuneFeed, le nouveau service proposé par Faces.com qui devrait bientôt être disponible, vous permettra de mettre de la musique en ligne et de créer un badge pour votre site afin que vos visiteurs puissent jouer vos morceaux. Dans la même catégorie, MySpace propose quelque chose de similaire mais toutefois plus limité. TagWorld, quant à lui offre un service très performant. Pour la plus part d’entre nous qui utilisons des blogs traditionnels, TuneFeed pourrait être assez fun à utiliser. Il se pourrait même que nous essayons cette merveille sur Techcrunch. [...]

It’s nice to see a site that’s not held together by duct tape like Myspace, but the lack of Safari and Firefox support worries me.

Well Ive moved to Tagworld and think it’s pretty good. Certainly better than Myspace, bith on features and usuability. Bit slow running though.
Not bad.

Rumor has it that myspace is coming out with a better version of there site on another domain name starting march 1st it will be another social networking community site with alot more features even then tagworld. I guess to stay ahead of other sites coming out like TagWorld.com also i heard it will be called http://www.FriendWise.com i guess well just have to see if FriendWise happens.

I want to try it, but I get nothing, I have a burly cpu and net line, the intro was very user friendly I really liked it, then when it came time to search or use any of the search functions, it won’t budge, I’ll try again, and hope they kick myspaces ass, since.. Why would I want to fund Fox? I’d rather give it to these guys once I know they offer an intelligent service

Another one to keep an eye on is PostElement.com. They just launched a beta version of their site, but it looks to have a strong foundation. The features they are rolling out should place them in a strong position.

Both myspace and tagworld, are slow, tagworld has more features, and is totally user friendly. as much of a computer geek that I am, I don’t have the time to HTML everything on myspace, like your required to do, with tagworld I can get it done faster. I agree, we need to somehow tell people that it is okay to cut the cord with myspace to join another site, a site that I believe is 90% better in someways, I tried talking about tagworld on myspace, but the post would never show up…hrmmm I guess Tom @myspace doesn’t want word to get out?

[...] Bookmark on del.icio.us Santa Monica-based TagWorld, a MySpace competitor, launched an admirable music product last month. Tomorrow they launch video and an upgraded upload client (the uploader is PC only for now).As an aside, TagWorld claims half a million member registrations (launch was in November 2005). This is far short of MySpace’s 50ish million, of course, but it is impressive growth. [...]

The music angle seems crowded. In addition to the current Goliath MySpace, there’s LastFM (as previously mentioned), plus Pandora and Webjay for finding new music and sharing playlists, respectively. I think people are being too literal in assessing why MySpace is so popular. It was first to combine several social tools in an easy-to-use form AND build around the presence of a topic (music) that people are passionate about, love debating/sharing, and are FED up with mainstream gatekeepers (lame commercial radio and MTV). There surely are other areas that still have unmet needs.

Tagworld - MySpace for Web 2.0?

[...] Tagworld is being widely heralded as the next big thing in social networking - it’s really an updated version of MySpace, with oodles of Ajax and a spattering of Flash. The site claims to have over 200,000 users (up 40,000 in the last three days!) and it’s sickeningly mass market. But of course it has to be - the site is trying to win the hearts of the fickle under-25 demographic, virtually all of whom switched from Friendster to MySpace in a matter of months. So toppling MySpace isn’t an impossible feat, but getting them to stick around is a very different problem. Mike Arrington is optimistic about Tagworld’s chances: TagWorld is targeting the MySpace crowd - generally people under 25, who all want a blogging/home page presence on the web. Sites like MySpace, FaceBook and Xanga are generating a truly massive number of page views - MySpace and FaceBook each rival Google in page views (although they donâ€™t approach the reach). The reason? These users spend most of their day on these sites, updating their sites and clicking on friends… [...]

these guys are bogus - for one use last.fm for music - it the real deal

these guys spam and they stole their concept from a teen site, tagged.com. my sister is always on tagged and thought tagworld was by the same people.

The product looks good. It sometimes works, right now, but who knows how it will scale. The overall concept is great however.

On the user side, 85% are acquired through aggressive marketing. The “in” crowd definitely hasn’t noticed yet, they might, but that 160K users does not reflect word of mouth sign ups.

As some of the comments have metioned, there is some shady marekting going on, which shouldn’t surprise anyone as the founders come straight from the adware business.

Overall great idea, fake numbers, looking for a sale in the next year or so.
