SoulTrackin’ – NetInfoWeb’s ‘SoulSites’ Aggregator Page…

Looking for soul music? Try the NetInfoWeb ‘SoulSites’ Aggregator Page! A ’single page aggregator’ listing 45 Soul, R&B and Jazz music sites for you to enjoy.

Over the weekend one of my new Twitter friends asked the following question…

“Anybody know of any good music sites?”

Now, that’s just the kind of question that this site, NetInfoWeb 2.0, was created to answer! After all, our byline *is* “Trackin’ the Sites, Trackin’ the SOUL!”

Ever since I revamped and refocused the site last year, it’s goal has been to seek and out and discover good websites and/or blogs that were talking about and promoting Soul, R&B, Jazz, Blues and Gospel music online. I try to point to my discoveries via these “SoulTrackin’” posts, in addition to keeping and maintaining a list of the sites I’ve found in the blogroll in the left sidebar.

One of the other things I have always wanted to do was to not only find and list good soul music websites (dubbed ‘SoulSites’), but also automatically list the titles of the headlines of new messages posted on these sites. The layout/functionality I wanted was similar to what you could find on the ’single page aggregators’ like POPURLS or Original Signal.

Fortunately, sometime over the summer I stumbled upon the Spotback website and their personalized news capability at News.Spotback.com. By using the NewsSnacks feature in this section I was able to create my own customized single-page aggregator for ‘SoulSites’ blogs that I had been thinking about.

In actuality, while the link to the NetInfoWeb ‘SoulSites’ Aggregator Page has been posted in the sidebar for sometime, I have never really promoted it much because I’ve been meaning to cleanup the list of sites it contained. Well, I finally got “A Round Tuit”, purged some sites, added some others and now the page is ready for its official unveiling.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Here is the list of sites (in alphabetical order) that you’ll find on the NIW-SSAP:

BTW… a special “Thanks” goes out to seedoflife for asking the question and indirectly (and unknowingly {smile}) help me get that “round tuit”!

  4. Mark: no prob, man. Once I read your ‘FAQ’ page and saw you mention Miles’ “Kind Of Blue” (my #1, all-time, favorite album of any genre, BTW), Stevie Wonder and Public Enemy in the same breath, I knew I had found a “kindred soul”! Keep on bringing these under-the-radar, “departure” albums to everyone’s attention and expanding folks’ musical knowledge. It is information that is much needed.
