DigiPie.

Deep in the impenetrable bowels of a website so obscure it makes James Joyce look like Noddy, lies DigiPie. An idea which may or may not have merit. Apparently it’s about consumers grabbing an equity share in artists. Consumer downloads song/media, earns points, which are then redeemed for an x% share of the artist’s total earnings over a period. Confused? You may well be. Guys, you need to make the concept clearer to us muppets out here!  With DigiPie a user can locate,…

Klever shopping.

You know what’s really clever about the Klever Kart? It’s a great way to get men to take more interest (read – spend more money) in supermarkets. Sheesh, give me a funky gadget to play around with while I’m walking around MegaFoods, and I’m yours foreva baby. I mean who wouldn’t want to read the current Middle East news when they’re trying to decide which chocolate sponge cake to buy?  Klever Marketing has developed and markets a proprietary, wireless, in-store…

SMS for voice?

T2Me. It’s a kind of push-to-talk voice chat software for mobile phones using GPRS. I’d say it looks like excellent tech except for the fact that there’s no pricing for it at the moment, which is important isn’t it? Anyway 2 cool things – one, it’s free for now and two, you can use it from a desktop PC too.  T2Me is a Push-to-Talk system which converts your existing cellular phone into a virtual Walkie-Talkie; it lets you exchange voice messages with other T2Me users anywhere in…

Awesome March 7, 2005

Up to 11.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the Upto11.net service could be one of the single most awesome music finding tools evar. Why? Well think of collaborative filtering based on P2P networks combined with Wikipedia background info on artists, allied with a kickin’ search engine and you get the idea. The only thing that could do with some improvement is the preview function, which really needs better and deeper linking into tracks on places like Amazon….
