SeeqPod is back.

(must have come back up in the last week, as I still had the site bookmarked, I checked it a few days ago, and it was 404'd.)

But... it is wholly-changed from what we knew it as here on the TFP, a "shell" of it's former self, and absolutely no trace of the versatility and innovativeness that had us enamored. It looks to be nothing more than a "recommendation cloud" for like-minded sites that are still running and more successfully agregating music searches to the masses.

Read the wikipedia article to better understand what has/ had happened to SeeqPod over the last year-and-a-half, and why it ultimately fell under the weight of titans.

Man, you just got me excited for no reason. I was just thinking about the site a couple of days ago as well.

That placeholders been there for at least a month.

At least they offer some alternatives, at the very least (that's all the site has been reduced to, links... that and yet another example of monopolistic Microsoft-owned puppet).

Other than that rolling cloud of "better-managed music sites that didn't become popular enough to be smacked down by the DMCA", yeah. SeeqPod is over.

It's just a trove of bookmarks now; of which, I've latched onto grooveshark since before its fall, and its executed well enough, I suppose.

The "Holla-Walla" and embed functions, though. I'll miss those the most.
