As part of our Save The Songs campaign, we built the Challenge – a fun Twitter or Facebook-based app that will scan your iTunes music library and give you a report card. It’s fun. You should try it here.

After months in development, we have finally launched SaveTheSongs.org. It is a (get ready for buzzwords…) viral social media marketing campaign for TidySongs. We had a ton of fun putting it together and now that it is up we’re learning a lot more. Let us know what you think.

Great short (3:53) video from Eric Ries on building a technology startup. The main point: How can you really know what you are building is something people want?

Speaking of magazines still being relevant in the age of iPhones (see previous post), SmashingMagazine.com recently had a great article on the Blogazine – create individual, unique blog posts with highly styled and designed layouts like magazine articles. I love these – and would love to see more bloggers (who also happen to be great designers) do this.

You’ve got to give them points for creativity.
With all the talk about the death of newspapers at the hands of the iPhone and Internet… I still love magazines. We get about a dozen or more delivered to our office every month. Big, color, glossy pictures – they are fun to casually flip through and read during lunch – and sitting on table for passersby to see – provide a little hint of creativity and inspiration. They just need a better business model.

Great note over at Boing Boing today about Russell Davies’ talk at Playful and “pretending objects”. There is a fine balance in product design between allowing the user to “pretend” (so they buy your product) and making them feel stupid (when they see through to your lie and move on).

A very well-made video ad for the new humanitarian group Nulu International. I love the graphic-novel style graphics. The whole thing is gripping. Reminds me of the last season of 24 where Bauer becomes an aid worker in Africa to escape the stress of fighting terrorism. (Yea, I know I just ruined the serious moment. Sorry.)

The extent to which we are all being brainwashed is pretty severe.
