I was speaking to a developer at JamCloud.com and they have a rough working prototype of just that! It’s not in the currently available build, but I’ve seen the pieces and it’s way cool!

Turntable is really cool and on the right track… but it’s limited to music. Imagine the same model for shared video and Web content. Launching soon… http://www.mulltee.com

Good points Michael. What you’re describing is a lot like 8tracks.com. A relatively small social music network with a lot of DJ’s – they also have a fantastic iPhone app. I’ve discovered loads of music there – and have created my own 8track mixes. Music and Mobile is particularly fascinating right now with Bluetooth audio becoming standard in cars and the cloud taking over locally stored tunes.

@Don – love “Club Penguin for hipsters”.

I don’t think that something like Turntable is only for younger folks – music – listening, talking about, sharing – isn’t really bound by age.

One thing I would add to my post that wasn’t included – I think its possible to use Turntable and SoundCloud passively – meaning you don’t need to invest heavily if you don’t want. Imagine a Turntable mobile app – it might simply play your friends DJ streams – or that of a room you want – and rooms effectively replace channels on a more inherently passive service like Pandora.
