I've been a semi-regular
user of
This Is My Jam for a few years now. Once a week you login and post what song is exciting you the most - you know, your jam! It's a great idea and has been executed quite well over the years. However,
it is shutting down as of September 2015. The reasons they cite are having to spend too much time maintaining API integration with all the services they piggyback on and not being able to focus more on a mobile experience or proper monetization. It's unfortunate but, honestly, I applaud them for stepping away when they feel the pull to try something else. Without the passion of the team behind it, it won't be the same project so I'm glad they aren't just handing it off or letting it live in perpetuity to linger and break down over time. I've seen the
opposite and it's heartbreaking to not be able to use a service you love because there's no one actively monitoring it anymore.
Hats off to you This Is My Jam, you're doing the right thing and you've offered a helluva thing for the past few years.
