Now we’re starting to see the merging of several different web business models. Mog.com launches a new social networking site, which is geared specifically for music lovers. The idea was launched by David Hyman who is a former marketing exec at MTV. The site uses a special software that customers download to help with ratings.

The software is fairly complex, and even creates specific user pages, which contain a lot of the data that’s been recorded concerning their music tastes. These pages will be open to the public on the main website.

“There are music lovers who want nothing more than to tell the world what they are listening to,” MOG.com spokeswoman Dana Smith said. “This is really exciting to people who want to see what other people are listening to and to people who want to show off their stuff.”

Mog.com is counting on this fact. Music lovers will likely follow suit. How far the reach of Mog.com is right now can’t be measured, but the software is worth a look.
