Hey shavingspiders - no problem, happy to elaborate. In short, it's a way to find out what music is being listened to and where in real-time. It's not a 'connecting' tool per se because we keep the location info anonymized and aggregated (so you can see top played charts by genre/time in different locations). As mentioned above, there is also the social element so that you have an open graph of music listens amongst your network.

I take your point about Bono. Disclaimer though: I'm Irish so may be a little biased!
