ExtensionFM Becomes exfm: An Extension That Makes The Web Your Social Jukebox

I'm the type of music listener who finds one album he likes and listens to it constantly for about 6 months. Then I move onto the next album. One that's often old. Part of the reason for this is that I don't have a really good way to find new music. Pandora is basically my radio and finds me good stuff some of the time, but it's usually either old music or stuff I already own. If I want to be hip to what's new, I rely on my social graph to recommend things. And exfm is maybe the perfect tool for that. Previously, exfm was known as ExtensionFM, but with the latest version (version 2), they've changed up their branding and launched a wide range of new features. The key to the entire thing is still the Google Chrome extension. When installed, it allows you to browse the web as you normally would, but it alerts you when playable music files are on a webpage. If you find one, you can listen to it with the exfm player, or you can add it to your queue to listen to at anytime. You can even keep browsing to other sites and exfm remembers where it found the music, so it will stream continuously from there.
