Ryan, the service is great & I'm really impressed with how quickly you're adding features. Here's what I'd like added when you have the time...
Fix false positive matches. A bunch of songs on my page are inaccurate in that the song title doesn't match the MP3. It looks like you're just doing an open ended search through the Seeqpod API. You could further filter the search results to only show tracks that are an exact match for artist and song title. I'd rather have fewer matches than ones that don't represent my taste. For an example, see the "Chuck Prophet - Something Special" track on this page (the MP3 is not Chuck Prophet)...

Recommendations based on Last.fm recommended artists:
http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/RJ/system...
Integration with loved / recent tracks from The Hype Machine:
http://hypem.com/feed/loved/joelaz/1/feed.xml
http://hypem.com/feed/history/joelaz/1/feed.xml
Add the ability to "follow" other people and listen all my "friends" loved / recent tracks as a playlist.
Consolidate all my accounts under one login (ie. there should be a page that shows my loved tracks across Last.fm, Pandora, and the Hype Machine).
Add artist thumbnails so the pages are a little easier to scan visually.
Keep up the great work! I like Swurl too.

in Swurl - somewhere between FriendFeed and Tumblr on Broadcasting Brain
Hello, thanks for writing an awesome review on Swurl! Thank you for pointing out the things you like. To answer some of your dislikes:
- Right now we are focused on bringing your content and not creating it on our own system. For now we think you should save all your links on delicious and all your photos on flickr, they are the best services for that. We may allow people do blog directly on Swurl in the future.
- We will be adding a ton more really cool services as soon as we can.
- We are still working on the FriendFeed data source, right now it just brings in your FriendFeed friends
- The timeline is trying to be a list of all your stuff on Swurl. We don't put a link to the data source there because we really don't have much space.
- We automatically create some friends for you based on your friend lists on your data sources, we don't auto follow if someone follows you
- In the live search you only get your stuff, we will try to include your friends stuff possibly later
Feel free to email me at any time,
Ryan at Swurl
