SoundCloud
App to App Handshakes
Fred Wilson:
This morning I was at the gym listening to the Django Unchained Soundtrack on my phone in the SoundCloud android app. I decided I wanted to make Trinity my song of the day on Tumblr. I hit the share icon, up came a list of apps, I selected Tumblr, and I was taken to the Tumblr app but as a link share. I wanted an audio share.
This happens whenever I try to share something to Tumblr and it drives me crazy. Hopefully Mr. Wilson’s emails to SoundCloud and Tumblr will prompt resolution between their apps, and spur conversation about fixing this kind of thing overall.

Talk by Steven Jobs - IDCA 1983
This Steve Jobs talk from 1983 (I was less than a month old…) is a series of astoundingly accurate predictions about the future of computing. The audio was sourced from a cassette tape, cleaned up a bit, and posted to Soundcloud by Marcel Brown. Read his post about it on his blog, Life, Liberty, and Technology.
