<p><a href="http://www.chictini.com/">Chictini</a> is a social network, launched just this fall, where people can submit fashionable items (clothes, accessories, art, and even electronics) found on the websites of online retailers. Members (&#8221;chicsters&#8221;) vote submitted items up or down, causing them to rise and fall, thus making the site like <a href="http://www.digg.com/">Digg</a> but for trendy merchandise.</p>
<p>Chictini thinks that the expression of one&#8217;s taste in music will complement the expression of one&#8217;s taste in fashion, and has therefore decided to integrate <a href="http://www.seeqpod.com/">SeeqPod</a> functionality into user profiles. SeeqPod is an MP3 search engine, reviewed along with a couple others <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/28/music-search-engines-tread-fine-legal-line/">here</a>, that allows you to stream  (mostly copyrighted) music found around the web by its crawlers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/seeqpod_result.png"><img src="http://cache0.techcrunch.com/wp-content/seeqpod_result_thumb.png" class="shot" /></a></p>
<p>Now, Chictini users can search for music using SeeqPod within the Chictini site itself and add one song at a time to their profiles. The song will then show up on their profiles in the form of a SeeqPod widget that allows for instant playback.</p>
<p>As we mentioned in our previous coverage of SeeqPod, it&#8217;s unlikely that the labels have enough legal standing to win cases against the music search engines themselves, although there is a possibility that the engines could be held liable for contributory infringement. Chictini is evidently betting that their chances for legal repercussions are similarly very low, and probably even much lower.</p>
