    Serendipity

    - Free

    - an online map that displays a stream of coordinates when two users played the same song at the same time. Serendipity isn't live, but is reflective of real-time data recorded recently over a one hour period. As each pair of listeners flashes onto the screen, the song they chose starts playing for a few fleeting moments before another song comes on. Serendipity only displays users who clicked Play within one tenth of a second of each other, Spotify says. The site isn't particularly useful, but is a fantastic visualization of how music spreads — and of the reach of Spotify's user base. It's also just a fun way to hear what the world is listening to.

    - Serendipity was built by Kyle McDonald, a Brooklyn-based digital artist who recently became Spotify's first "artist in residence."
