Jogtunes gets an award

We've been featured on Call For Help by Amber McCarthur, Robin Good's New Media Pick of the Week, and as the Featured Affiliate on the iTunes page of Linkshare's website.

But our most recent recognition is an award by the Linkshare Club as this week's Best Creative website! Scroll down on the Linkshare Club page to see the details.

What is Linkshare? They run what they claim is the largest pay for performance affiliate marketing network on the Internet. Clicks on links on jogTunes.com that result in sales are paid to jogTunes through Linkshare.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of the popularization of music-paced running and our music service.

More Tunes for Music-Paced Running

Here's a list of the artists whose "runnable" songs I just posted on jogtunes.com.

- Beck
- A Perfect Circle
- System of a Down
- Audioslave

I admit that I select most songs solely by listening to the 30 second clips in iTunes and counting the BPM with Blacktree's iTunes-BPM Inspector. Since I don't listen to the entire song, I can miss changes in tempos and other characteristics of the song that might affect the running pace. I apologize for this but hope that the user understands that it would be prohibitive to purchase all of the songs just in order to look for unusual characteristics. I encourage users to contact me about any songs that they find are inappropriately listed as "runnable" tunes on jogTunes.com.

I also wish to acknowledge the numerous joggers and runners who have shared their running playlists with the public. They have been most helpful to me. I hope they will understand that I only chose truly music-paced running songs recorded by their favorite artists. Many songs are enjoyed by runners even though the songs' tempos don't truly match their running pace. While that's all well and good, jogTunes is promoting only running-paced songs to foster the acceptance and enjoyment of music-paced running.

Happy running and enjoy the music!

Bob
