This may sound foolish, but what actually is it? I don't have the time to watch the videos, and I'm on my phone and there's no text only 'about' to be read. From what I gather, it's a music social network that puts you in contact with people nearby with the same music taste? It's like scrobbling on last.fm, but with something special than 'Bono predicted' and Woz liked? After his comments voicing support for the Great Firewall as a method of preventing music piracy, I don't really pay much attention to Bono.
Hey shavingspiders - no problem, happy to elaborate. In short, it's a way to find out what music is being listened to and where in real-time. It's not a 'connecting' tool per se because we keep the location info anonymized and aggregated (so you can see top played charts by genre/time in different locations). As mentioned above, there is also the social element so that you have an open graph of music listens amongst your network.
I take your point about Bono. Disclaimer though: I'm Irish so may be a little biased!
