Goombah for Windows is here!

Well folks, it's time to unwrap one of the projects we've been working on recently: the Windows port of Goombah.

Here's what our current press release has to say:

Goombah 0.6 (http://goombah.com) is a software product that provides online music recommendations.  Using distributed computing to analyze iTunes music libraries, Goombah finds each user’s "nearest neighbors" in musical taste. No ratings are required.  iTunes music libraries are displayed to neighbors for their perusal, and used to generate highly precise music recommendations.  Users can easily connect to online retailers where they can sample and purchase recommended music.

This release of Goombah includes the Windows version of the product; substantial performance improvements; as well as several features and UI enhancements to the Mac and Windows beta versions. Most notable is a slider for users to control their music discovery - from conservative to adventurous.

Actually the slider was there before, but it was buried in the Preference panel. Now it's front and center on the window containing the recommendations.

Needless to say, this is a Big Deal for us. There are a lot more Windows users than Mac windows out there, and the more users we have, the better the recommendations will be and the more dynamic the experience will be.

Sorry I haven't been posting more to this blog, but I've been very immersed in business and technical tasks.

And speaking of business, expect a major (for us anyway!) announcement on the business front in the next few days.
