 Once you have come up with an amazing idea for an Online Service that uses Winamp, how do you get it into the Winamp Online Services Gallery so that users can start visiting it?  Glad you asked.  First you must start by submitting the service to Winamp.  After being submitted, the service will go through a Winamp internal review process.  If the service passes the review it will then be automatically included in the Winamp Online Services Gallery.
-The progress of your service through these steps can be seen through the use of the &quot;My Profile&quot; link at the top of the Winamp.com main page after logging in.

 =====Categories/Types of Online Services=====

 So what are categories? Categories help you organize your content under a more familiar taxonomy. By familiar, we mean non-unique and non-personal words; thereby allowing a user to navigate your content with ease knowing what they want. That's the reason why we have fixed the categories. They are Music, Video, Radio, E-Commerce, Photo, Artists, Streaming, Podcast, Games, Internet TV, Events and Other. This will also give you a clear indication on what you can actually create. And if you think you can create something else, there is always the 'Other' category.
-Then why do we need tags? Well, you can personalize your Online Service with your own tags. For e.g. for a hypothetical online service Music Shoppe (Let's say) tags can be 'music shoppe', 'music shop', 'purchase music', 'music shop', 'music store' whereas categories can be broader like 'music' &amp; 'e-commerce'. All you have to do is make them short, crisp, relevant (search compatible) and small in numbers so that they are relevant.

-Users can also complain if they find something objectionable.  These &quot;abuse reports&quot; may be forwarded to the online service developer to be resolved.  So don't do bad things.  And no, SlyHawk, parcour will not help you here.
