Idiomag is a fascinating project that combines syndicated media content, user feedback, recommendation technology and now Attention Data to produce a very attractive personalized "web magazine" about music.Idiomag site has just added the ability to pull in your listening history from a variety of other services (Pandora, Last.fm, iLike, Mog and MyStrands) in order to personalize your content. Unannounced but also newly available is APML import, a very exciting means to allow users to personalize web content based on their activity on any other site that supports APML export.
The degree of personalization is really impressive. The automated integration of text and media is particularly striking. Just like Pandora or Last.fm, your recommendations get increasingly fine tuned by voting for each "article" you like or dislike. My APML file doesn't have much music in it but I plugged my Pandora profile into Idiomag and am already discovering some cool new music. It's an awesome product that is best experienced by trying it out.
