jogTunes update

Over the past month, jogTunes finally hit the Google list. We get a whole page when we enter jogTunes. Other keywords aren't so rewarding as yet...we may be listed, but on page 20+.

"Silly or Slick?" asks Pat of GotTheRuns.blogspot.com, about jogTunes. I thanked Pat for the citation. I really would like more constructive comments and hope they will be forthcoming.

After much input, mainly from family, I decided to simplify the site. The concept remains viable inspite of the presence on the web of other playlist sites like DailyTunes and the new beta of SoundFlavor.

Here's evidence that there must be interest in matching tempos to pace. It's An MP3/phone interfaced to a pedometer via Bluetooth that can change tune tempos without changing pitch. Sounds great for people who like to match tempos to their running pace. But, I would imagine few people would like to listen to a song they like that's sped up or slowed down. I guess it would depend on how much of a change is made. jogTunes playlists might work great on this system as the program would allow fine adjustments of tempos that are already pretty close to what the runner prefers. Here's the link:

hmmm...silly or slick. I think it's just purposeful: you're making something that people want, and that they can benefit from without purchasing anything! who could ask for more? I LOVED jogging to my first, and second, and third jogtunes sets--whereas I typically do a very light, easy jog, I ran as fast and hard as I had in high school fourteen years ago! It was like having a private coach. I felt so good at the end.
