Face the Music

I swear that I'll stop writing about Yahoo! Facebook applications when we stop making cool ones. The latest in this illustrious line is the Yahoo! Music Videos application, which is just really darn awesome. Just the fact that it gives you access to music videos for all of the favorite artists that you list in your profile is great, but you also get:
- A full set of canvas pages to watch your favorite videos, your friends favorite videos, the most popular videos, the newest videos released on Y! Music, et cetera.
- An embedded video player to highlight your number one video on your profile page (which adjusts size to either column)
- Solid music video search
- Music video dedications that you can send to friends
It's just a really nice application altogether and super useful for people who like music videos. And people like it, they really like it! Hopefully you will, too.

If you want cold, hard numbers you can check out the user adoption graphs here: http://appaholic.com/display/2977370563
It actually looks like it’s slowing. :(

Yeah, the fact that this app doesn’t require you to reciprocally install it to enjoy it probably does hurt uptake a bit. Uninformed guess, of course, maybe people just don’t like this application. :) Still, I do think it’s really well made and hopefully the installations will pick up a bit as the user base increases.
Very nice site that you have there, by the way!

Sean,
Yeah, it is a solid app.
And thanks for the compliment. I use the Yahoo! UI toolkit for all my AJAX/Javascript stuff.
