Overview
MyStrands started off as MusicStrands and is a downloaded desktop application that works with your current music players to build recommendations based on what you're listening to. In many ways it's similar to Last.fm's "Scrobbling" but MyStrands ties in with your mobile device and seems to provide a more social recommendation system. By tying in with music on mobile phones, MyStrands is a bit ahead of the others and it helps tie all of your music collections together.
They recently launched new site for finding music videos hosted by YouTube called MyStrands.tv. The music video search allows you to browse by artist or genre and play them in a fairly large music player. The service is fun because you can build up a queue of videos to watch, plus it recommends videos you might like based on your viewing habits.
They have great features like the ability to create your own music video channels and view your friends' favorite videos.
The music video service is very similar to Middio, MOG and iLike.

Hey, neat. Like the list, but you I think you should include mozes too. I’ve been using it since a couple of months and it’s been just too cool. I joined a mob and I get exclusive updates to my mobile. I also started a mob. There is a lot you can do. It’s really good fun. You guys need to take a look at it.
