Hillary Clinton sheds some skin in Aviary
Aviary is a Flash-based image editor that’s looking very impressive.

y! live – the world is watching
Yahoo! Live is Yahoo!’s take on live video broadcasting, and it’s off to a good start.

Polaroid Abandons Instant Photography
Boo hiss! Hopefully someone will pick up the license…

Blog, social network buzz correlates to better album sales
More buzz = more sales (obviously).

Pixish
I’m not really a fan of spec work but this looks interesting.

Ex-CNETer Launches Iminta
More on that life aggregation theme I talked about earlier this week.

Apple Game Developers?
I’m sure we’re going to see games on the iPhone/iPod Touch sooner rather then later.

Digital radio OFFICIALLY coming to the iPhone
This would be pretty cool if true.

MusicStation Max offers unlimited free music downloads to your mobile
DRM’d music is never going to be interesting.

10.5.2: What’s new, pussycat (and what isn’t)
10.5.2 is a major upgrade – in fact, I think it may be the biggest point update Apple have released for Mac OS X.

guardian.co.uk
Don’t know when they launched this, but the Guardian have redesigned. Looking pretty good – love the use of colour, although the text is maybe a little cramped together.

Backpack Messages & Newsroom
Hey, do I spy a News Feed?

NewsGlobe: See where on earth big news is breaking
Nifty, although a bit of a rip-off of the Wii News Globe.

Supernaturalsuperserious
Nice video wall thing from REM and Vincent Moon. Things I like: 1) The message to read while it loads 2) The high quality video file downloads 3) That the video downloads are under an Open Source licence (although why not Creative Commons?).

I Hate My Content Management System ?
I still don’t believe that no-one has done a decent CMS yet…

Play.com To Sell DRM-Free Music In UK
And you know what? Their digital store is actually pretty good, with low prices and good integration with the rest of their site.

Content Creators: Build Your Brand, Not Theirs
With the exception of a couple of places (like YouTube, for example), content creators and the content they create is much more valuable then the site they’re posting it on.

BBC to put shows on iTunes ‘next week’
I do hope they’re not going to try and charge UK viewers for BBC programs on iTunes…

tapesntapes.com
Almost forgot – the new Tapes ‘n Tapes site we launched this week.
