Pop, politics, and puns from a product of 1987, Baltimore, Atlanta, DC, Manhattan, and American pop culture. PR Student/Intern by occupation, drummer by passion, and culture vulture by necessity.
Per T.I.'s suggestion: "They don't know which way to go/I'll make it easy follow me." Twitter launched a site rendering "I have a Twitter, but I don't know what to do with it now that I'm there," a thing of the past. We follow is a "user powered Twitter directory," -- a Twitter search engine, of sorts, using hashtags as keywords to find and follow fellow Tweeters of a feather.
To add yourself to the directory enable/follow @hashtags, then tweet @wefollow three 1 word tags that describe you/your twitter page (i.e. @wefollow #blogger #music #dc) ... it's just that easy!
Obviously the big tags at the mo are (in very particular order) celebrity, music, tech, news -- and yes this is an apt reflection on priorities within the Twitter community.
After a winded round-the-world "Twitter is no threat to G" lecture series, Google is resting its voice and opting to Tweet instead of talk for the time being ... If you can't beat em, define yourself in three tags or less and enter the directory like everyone else ...
Speaking of Twitter -- which is becoming the modern day equivalent of "How's the weather?" -- I'll make it easy ... for you to follow me.
Watch this space: Old man Google's Tweets are speaking louder than his words -- for Twitter to be such a non-threat, We Follow got the leader to G Follow pretty quickly
Using iDaft, professors literally put the power of production right in the palms of their pupils.
Students mix, mash, chop, screw, smother, scatter, and cover vocal stems from Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. The end result could be something completely -- kind of -- original or just a tweak of Kanye's stab at the electro-classic.
Word around the rumor mill is that the scholar assembling the best product gets contracted for an official remix on Ye's next album: Twelfth of Nevuary. But wait there's more! -- Because the rumor mill never stops churning -- some would-slash-have say-slash-said next semester's course will be more streamlined, some might say ... Aerodynamic?
The good news is you don't have to be enrolled in KU to take advantage of the learning tools. You too can be a Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger uberproducer -- which is the rough equivalent to "half-as-good-as-Kanye-thinks-he-is" or "twice-as-good-as-people-give-him-credit-for."
Kanye University is accepting applications for the Fall 2009 semester on a rolling deadline. So take your time, prep your portfolio, and drive slow.
Just when you thought it was safe to come out again ... Kutiman killed the lights
ThruYOU is a brilliant site that takes mixtapes to the tube. YouTube + DatPiff + Grit+ Girl Talk + je ne sais quoi + Kutiman = ThruYOU.
What you are about to see is a mix of unrelated YouTube videos/clips edited together to create ThruYou. In other words -- what you see is what you hear.
Beyond the sarcasm, cynicism, and spin, past the pseudo-pretentious theory on the endless possibilities of the digital age -- every new beginning is some beginning's end.
Over the last few weeks, the newspaper industry has entered a new period of decline. The parent of the papers in Philadelphia declared bankruptcy as did the Journal Register chain. The Rocky Mountain News closed and the Seattle Post Intelligencer, owned by Hearst, will almost certainly close or only publish online. Hearst has said it will also close The San Francisco Chronicle if it cannot make massive cuts at the paper. The most recent rumor is that the company will fire half of the editorial staff. That action still may not be enough to make the property profitable.
