Music is one of my greatest passions. I dream of collecting all of the music I love, but I always feel like I am so far behind in acquiring it, and am falling farther and farther behind all the time as more albums come out. This is why I was delighted to come across Blyper on our page of Web 2.0 tools. There are a lot of music websites out there, but I have never come across one like this. Blyper.com is a website that allows you to type in the names of whatever musical artists you like. Then, the website will notify you anytime those artists are coming out with a new album. The website boasts that it can notify you about any band, regardless of their mainstream popularity. This is a great advantage to have because the only music releases that you will most likely hear about will be in the papers and on MTV and a great number of the artist that I love are not famous enough to be on MTV.
I have had quite a difficult time trying to figure out how I could use this online tool in my future as an elementary school teacher. I really think that music is extremely important for children to learn about. I would like to think that I will be the type of teacher that will broaden students' horizons in more than the expected ways. So in this sense I could utilize this website to give my students the most up-to-date information about music releases. However in general, this tool is really for my own benefit so that I can have my dream music collection.

Due to the fact that there are no real examples to show on the blyper.com website, I decided to provide this link the MTV's The Leak, which shows upcoming album releases. The point of this is to show the limited selection that is found on websites other than Blyper, so you can appreciate what this website has to offer.
