MySpace was Imeem's savior. Let us be mindful of...
But the fact is that MySpace didn’t shut the Imeem service down. Imeem’s creditors and the music labels did. If MySpace hadn’t done the deal Imeem would have shut down anyway. The company was just out of cash and options, and the wheels had come off the car. For the most part the press now gets that MySpace had very little to do with the shutdown, and has settled down. via techcrunch.com

Google Produces "Search Stories"
Reminding us how ubiquitous they really are in our lives, Google has a new ad campaign called “search stories.” I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed by their creativity.

I love my acoustics. Erik Hassle And Ellie...
Be Mine (Robyn Cover) by Erik Hassle And Ellie Goulding (3834 KB) Listen on posterous I’ve never heard of these guys either. But there’s something pure about their voices that turns what could have easily been a boyband song from the 90s into something so much more. Of course it could just be that I’m a sucker for acoustic covers. Think Daniel Bedingfield but with a...
I like questions that make you question yourself
These questions have no right or wrong answers. Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? Which is worse, failing or never trying? If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? What is the...
