TuneGlue is one of the latest online offerings venturing into relationship visualisation. In this case, TuneGlue maps the links between various artists and genres of music from Last.FM and Amazon. Type in the name of your favourite singer or band and the mini-app generates threads of similar artists, albums etc. From here you can drill down to albums and tracks.
All the data is pulled from the EMI owned Last.FM which adds credibility to the offering and once again shows the faith and commitment EMI have to the digital space - read their press release on the issue here.
A similar offering named LivePlasma has been around for quite a while and although not as slick, does a better job of visually representing the relationships. The addition of size to the generated nodes and multiple linkage paths gives depth and relevance. Try searching for the same artist and see what happens.
