Never heard of em. And after a quick look into SMS, it appears that they're based in someone's basement in Rockford. A small group of people channeling other peoples music through portals like Facebook and Twitter isn't something that interests me in the least bit. Prolific? Maybe. I don't have the time or inclination to dig through all that.
The most ingenious idea of the last decade or so regarding music discovery is Pandora. I don't use it much, but it does exactly what the average person on a music exploration journey is looking for. However, it's based on genre's that are generated from human interaction in it's database, so there are inherent flaws. Sometimes it'll play a headscratcher, but it mostly works. If you could port that idea to the unknown's, garage bands, home studio jockeys of the world, I'd use it. Most definitely.
