"It can be hard to find music blogs that cater to one's tastes \u2014 that's why startup Exfm has launched a discovery service for music blogs via its new Labs department.\nExfm launched as Extension.fm in March 2010 with a Chrome plugin that allows you to scrape MP3s from music blogs and create playlists from that sweet, sweet residue. The service rebranded its app as exfm version 2.0 last month, and added nifty integrations with Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr (which made it much more social).\nThe introduction of a Labs department is just the latest innovation on the startup's part \u2014 \"[this is] where we\u2019re going to launch cool ideas from our users that are still a bit away from being integrated within the complete exfm experience,\" the startup's blog says.\nBlogFinder (a.k.a. The Super Awesome Music Blog Finder Thingy) allows users to enter in their Last.fm IDs in order to garner a list of music blog selections, courtesy of EchoNest's API (EchoNest is also responsible for MTV's new music discovery service).\n\n\n\n\nGranted, you have to be an avid Last.fm user in order for this to work (and there are still bugs, either way), but it's a pretty cool idea. Founder and CEO Dan Kantor says that the startup would love to get BlogFinder working with other services in the future.\nBlogFinder is not the only music blog discovery service on the block, however. There's also Shuffler.fm, a personal favorite of mine, a service that lets you browse through blogs whilst listening to featured MP3s (it's like Pandora + StumbleUpon for music blogs). Still, Exfm's offering does have potential, given the startup's propensity for continuing innovation."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
