I just saw this on Grooveshark today. Interesting. I wonder if more platforms are going to be a places where an experience is delivered (like music), and the original content creator will get direct authentic feedback from the content consumer.

I’m sure this is just a clever platform feature, but I like what they did with the copy — make it seem like Derrich John literally asked me what I thought of this song. It has a small textbox and two buttons, one for “I like this” and one for “Not for me” It’s in the bottom right hand portion of the screen, and so is evocative of a “chat” message directly from the user.
