Today we’re releasing the first phase of what will soon become FoxyTunes 3.0. In this first release we’re introducing a cool new feature called “Signatunes“.

Signatunes allows signing your email messages and blog posts with your currently playing music. Why would you want to do that? Letting your friends know what you were listening to while writing the message is a great way to tell them about your mood, or introduce them to one of your favorite songs. The added music signature is more just a song title – it links to FoxyTunes Planet where your friends can listen to music and learn all there is to know about your favorite artists and songs.

So, how does Signatunes work? FoxyTunes adds a special icon to web mail sites, Blogging services and social networks, such as Facebook, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo mail, Wordpress and many others. This allows you to add a music signature to your message with a click. There is also an ‘auto-insert’ mode, which allows you to automatically add a Signatune to every message you compose. If you already have a preset signature – don’t worry, Signatune doesn’t replace your existing signature – it’s added to the end of the message following the message body and any existing signatures.

Initially, the following services are supported:

Facebook Notes, Mail	MySpace Blogs
WordPress	Yahoo! Mail
AOL Mail	Hotmail
Gmail	Horde Webmail
SquirrelMail

In the future, we are planning to add Signatunes to many more sites, Blogging and webmail services, forums and so on.

Signatunes is available in the latest version of FoxyTunes for Firefox – check it out and let us know what you think!

Live Earth is a huge music event that is going to take place on Saturday July 7, 2007. It is a series of concerts happening all over the planet with the goal of raising worldwide awareness of the dangers of Global Warming.

More than 150 of the world’s most popular artists and bands are going to perform at Live Earth and 2 billion people are going to follow it on the Internet, TV, radio and mobile.

We are very excited about this upcoming event and its extremely important cause, so we decided to make our humble contribution and create a special page on FoxyTunes Planet dedicated to Live Earth. On this page you can learn more about the event and its artists – you can even watch many of their most popular videos.

So, check out the FoxyTunes Live Earth page and visit the LiveEarth.org site to learn what you can do to help battle the climate crisis and save our Planet.
