Ah, karaoke, that ancient (ok not so ancient) Japanese tradition of humiliating yourself in front of friends, relatives and / or work colleagues. If you happen to be a fan of out of tune warbling and butchering of classic songs, you might be interested that the Myspace Karaoke service enters public beta today. It enables Myspace members to sing along with instrumental tracks and then share the results with others. Now doesn't that sound like fun? (What's that angry face you're pulling?). All you need is a microphone to take part and songs can be shared via your profile, bulletins or bookmarks with the ability to store up to ten songs for free. The whole thing is powered by kSolo, an online karaoke service bought by Myspace's parent company a couple of years ago. The public beta is only available in the US at the moment with plans to go international in the future. I for one am hoping it doesn't catch on, if only for the aural health of many.
