Mugasha – dj mixes with a twist (get invites!)

if you’re into electronic/dance/club-music you’ll agree that the experience of listening to dj-mixes online is far from perfect: music is consumed in large chunks of several hundred mbytes, often without tracklists or other metadata, certainly without cue-points (and therefor no ability to skip tracks). enter Mugasha. all mixes offered at Mugasha include detailed cue-lists & tracklists, [...]

Charts.fm – fun with mashups…

few weeks ago I’ve been building this charts-based mashup together with a friend of mine.  since we now even managed to get some decent frontend-graphics from blackjune, I tought I might as well pitch it here before christmas…

Feedback Army – usability testing for the rest of us

just discovered Feedback Army, a service offering dirt-cheap website-usability-testing based on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. how does it work? you post the URL of the site tested alongside several open questions (f.e. “Describe in your own words: what’s the main purpose/functionality of the website?”, “Are there any browser-related issues, like f.e. slow responses?”) – Feedback Army automagically [...]

fbCal.com – bridging Facebook & Google Calendar etc.

fbCal is a godsend for those who tend to forget birthdays (like me) and rarely log into Facebook anymore (like me) [even when I did, I never really noticed the upcoming birthdays on the homepage anyway]. fbCal (a Facebook-app) generates RSS-/iCalendar-feeds for your friends’ birthdays & your upcoming events on FB, which you then can [...]

Tripwolf – Social Travel (Invites)

Tripwolf is the latest project launched by austrian incubator i5invest (others include email charity, Papermint and 123people), and this time it’s all about social travel meets wiki. Tripwolf scores with a very polished design, smart features against social-fatigue (i.e. importing your social graph from Facebook) and a very ajax-ified user-interface. the printed PDF-travel-guides might seem [...]

Microsoft Live Mesh – impressions, invitations

so I got an invitation to Microsoft Mesh last night (it pays to stay up late and follow @stevegillmor). in some way Mesh is Microsoft’s answer to offline webapps (think Google Gears, AIR), weaving the fabric that is supposed to connect multiple devices, and applications. in its current rendition (don’t forget, this is labeled ‘Tech [...]
