Bjork’s App (launching of new album)

I haven’t quite had time to play with it, because I’m still waiting for it to download (quite large: 173mb). The page on iTunes does look interesting though, as to show a different side of Bjork. If the quality of graphics used for the preview is anything to go by with regards to the new album, I’ll most definitely get hold of a copy. It must be good. You can find it here on iTunes.

Are you in a band, or are you a fan?

Bandcamp is a way for music makers to distribute their music directly without having to go through distributor or ‘publisher’. You can do it yourself. It has interesting tools, like social marketing methods on Twitter, where you can download a free song if you tweet about it. I just downloaded the latest M83 tune, by just tweeting about it. You can do the same here. It is all done with Bandcamp, and its great to have the power in the creator.

Police can become social

It would be a great way to fight crime if cops can find your location by a tweet, or by a phone call holding more info that just who the person is. Imagine the police have a dedicated person to read tweets. People seeing crime taking place can tweet about it, and have location services active on their mobile devices.

Example:
@police_CT please help. Person breaking into car on Long.

That’s it! They can come back by saying @VVouter thanks man, we’ll be checking it immediately!
