Yahoo buys Webjay

Yahoo has announced the acquisition of Webjay, a Web site that allows people to publish music playlists online.

Webjay is a tool that helps you listen to and publish web playlists. MP3 players like WinAmp, iTunes, RealOne, and Windows Media Player can be given a list of songs to play. Most of the time the songs are on your computer, but they can also be on the web. Webjay is all about playlists of songs on the web.

Webjay users you can email a small playlist file to a friend, post it on their web site, or take it with them to work.

This latest small acquisition adds to the arsenal of social newtorking websites that Yahoo is building. Social Networking is fast becoming one of their biggest bets. Given the success of sites such as MySpace I'm not surprised.
