HP and MySpace team up: Better get rid of those risque shots on your site
HP and MySpace just announced that they’ve teamed up and the partnership will now be providing the ability to print on all user profiles on MySpace. Now, true, you could do this yourself before by going through steps of your own and saving things yourself and sending them to alternate programs to then print. But now, it’s just oh so much more simple.
Beginning in November, MySpace users will see a HP-branded button that says “Click to Print” all over the place, not just their photo album. It will be in their blog, comments, even the mail sections.
Plans are to extend this even further by selling personalized merchandise. The merchandise will have users’ photos on it. No details have been provided at this time as to exactly what kind of merchandise, but, expect the usual mugs, t-shirts, calendars, that sort of thing.
Songza will rock you, but are they legal?
Hey, if thousands of people are doing it, it can’t be wrong…..right? That’s the million dollar question about one of the newest music sites on the Web. Songza advertises itself as a “music search engine and Internet jukebox”. Ummm, ok. Or, one might also say they are a site you can go to in order to search out music and be able to listen to and download it for free. I’m just sayin’.
With 28 million songs instantly playable on the site, 10 month old Songza is luring in the music-seeking crowd pretty nicely. And they make their songs playable in a rather creative way. When you go on their site and enter the song or band title of your choosing, Songza will search the huge inventory of music videos on YouTube looking for it. Then, it streams the audio of the song, while hiding the video in an unseen margin of the browser. Pretty dang tricky, but…..is it actually legal?
