1. Apple to sell ringtones?

    Think about it, it makes sense…

    • They have deals with the record labels already
    • They have a mechanism to transfer to a phone (iTunes)
    • They have a very large userbase
    • Profit on ringtones is higher than singles (and you could probably sell them for more)

    The iTunes transfer may be the key to this working. It’s certainly a lot cheaper to operate as it bypasses the mobile phone operators.

    So what’s missing? Well the Apple phone of course!

    Just a prediction…


  2. Vox – the Flickr of blogging tools

    This is interesting..

    Pete invited me into Vox (here’s my page) which is essentially a hosted blog site much like Blogger or Live Journal. The difference is the way you interact with the community and your media.

    The reason I call it the Flickr of blogging tools is because of the first impression I had; you basically have flickr, but instead of photos you have blog posts. I can’t explain it any simpler than that. You have similar privacy options, tagging, sets, groups.

    Go check it out, I have a couple of beta invites still…
