Sputnikmusic, or simply
Sputnik, is a music website offering
music criticism and music news alongside features commonly associated with
wiki-style websites. The format of the website is unusual in that it allows both professional and amateur content to co-exist, distinguishing it from similar music websites such as
Pitchfork Media and
Tiny Mix Tapes, as well as collecting and presenting a
wiki-style metadata database in a manner comparable to
Rate Your Music and
IMDB.
