What is love ? What to think about it.

Swift — what's the largest music application on Facebook? If you're stumped, that's because the answer, RootMusic, didn't even exist a year ago.
Launched last summer, the San Francisco company has since become the eighth-largest overall application on Facebook and the social network's largest music app.
Why the sudden popularity? RootMusic's free plug-in lets bands upload their songs into playlists that listeners can stream from their Facebook fan page and sell tickets to upcoming shows.
The company also has a paid service that charges $1.99 a month, or $20 a year, to let bands further customize their pages.
In typical "freemium" models, about 5% of users take out their wallets for the paid version. "We're far beyond that right now," RootMusic founder J Sider. "We're able to make good cash to support the business at this point."
On Monday, RootMusic announced it had signed up 100,000 bands who use its software to set up customized Facebook fan pages, including top tier artists such as the Grateful Dead, Arcade Fire and Kanye West.
The company also announced it has hired Chris Wiltsee, the executive director of the Recording Academy's San Francisco chapter and the founder of Youth Movement Records, to head up business development.
The up-from-nowhere start-up has also attracted the attention of major league Silicon Valley investors, including Mohr Davidow Ventures and Larry Marcus, who has also invested in Pandora Media. This week, RootMusic closed on a small round of funding to raise $800,000, bringing its total funding to $3.1 million.
As for what's next, the 12-person company states it wants to become synonymous with music on Facebook, replacing what MySpace Music has been to bands. While MySpace hosts far more band pages, traffic to the News Corp. social network has dwindled as millions migrated to Facebook. News Corp., which purchased MySpace for $580 million in 2005, is now searching for a buyer to take the money-losing site off its hands.

The music will be provided in MP3 format at 320 kbps quality, the company says.
7digital’s service is not being used behind-the-scenes to power RIM’s own music store creation, but is a partnership where 7digital’s own music store will come pre-installed on PlayBook devices. There will be an icon branded “7digital” that ships on the PlayBook tablet, we are told.
Music Recommendations
Another interesting tidbit from today’s news: in addition to being able to search for tracks, albums and artists and listening to song previews, PlayBook users will also be offered music recommendations. 7digital’s technology will power this feature designed to go head-to-head with iTunes’ Genius recommendations.
What About Video?
This is an important partnership for RIM, as it brings a complete music catalog to its tablet personal - 13 million tracks, which is the same number of songs on iTunes, according to Apple’s website. However, this is a partnership for a tablet computer, where listening to music comes secondary to watching video and reading books, we would imagine. Today’s news only focuses on the music, though, and not 7digital’s other content, like audiobooks and video. asked for additional details on when (or if) this non-music content would also be provided to PlayBook users and will update when we hear back.
Update: 7digital will only state that there are no books or video offerings announced in this current relationship. No word on whether that will change in the future.
Also, in case you’re wondering what the 7digital store looks like on the PlayBook, here’s a screenshot:

SEO Review
By norters | October 16, 2010
This days im interested in SEO
Involver, a firm that offers a social media management platform as well as a suite of Facebook Page apps, has closed an $8 million Series C funding round. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors Western Technology Investment and Cervin Ventures participating as well. The news was first noticed by VentureBeat last week based on an SEC filing, though the reported amount was incorrect and details on investors were not announced.
Involver was founded in 2007 and has 100,000 clients, including names like The White House, Alicia Keys, and Facebook itself. Its core products include Facebook apps which a brand can use to customize and enhance their Facebook Page (audio players, signup forms, and many more). Involver also recently launched its ‘AMP’ Dashboard, which helps brands manage their presences on Twitter, Facebook, and other sites, tracking inbound tweets, Facebook comments, and allowing the brand to also respond to users directly from the same dashboard.
UK network provider O2 has partnered with location services platform Placecast to enable brands to automatically deliver targeted SMS and MMS to more than 1 million opted-in O2 customers based on their exact whereabouts.
O2 Media, the mobile marketing arm of O2, has signed on Starbucks and L’Oreal as the first two brands to test the location-based messaging service in the UK for a six-month trial period. The O2/Placecast partnership lets Starbucks and L’Oreal fence off geographic zones and push SMS discounts to O2 customers who enter those areas.
Starbucks is offering O2 customers 50% off discounts — delivered via SMS and redeemable at nearby stores — on its Starbucks VIA Ready Brew product. The discount will be delivered to individuals who have expressed an interest in food and beverage. As for L’Oreal, the makeup brand will dole out a buy-one-get-one-free discount on a hair care product to customers interested in beauty.
If you’re an O2 customer, you will begin receiving offers from Starbucks, L’Oreal and other brands that sign-on, if you’ve opted-in to the O2 More program, are 16 years of age or older and have shared your interests.
While O2 serves as the gateway between brand and mobile consumer, the network promises not to share your data with partner brands. The carrier also regulates SMS delivery frequency to a maximum of one per day.
The partnership between Placecast and O2 is a first of its kind in the UK and one that we find quite interesting. The combination of geo-fencing technology and carrier distribution is a potentially huge, and device-independent, way to deliver mobile marketing messages to the consumers who want them.

What was friendship ?

A Young Mind Wrestles with the Concept of Love and Its Varied Forms of Expression
The following is a journal entry I made as a 16 year old boy regarding love. My young mind wrestled with the concept of love and its varied forms of expression.What is love? I use to believe it didn’t really exist
in the form everyone refers to it. I thought that it was just an emotion produced from chemicals and hormones in the brain and that the whole “spiritual, emotional bond” that 2 people in love felt was for the sole purpose of keeping the man and women together for child bearing. I believed it all to be just a “instinct” and to have no real significance. After examining the harshness of how I felt I realized that almost of the “human” experiences can be summed up some how by use of just instinct, but without these key feeling and emotions then we wouldn’t be human. So if by definition these feelings make us human, then they can’t just be instinct without logical or spiritual purpose otherwise we would have no distinction between an animal. Humans are the only species who have sex for the pure purpose of pleasure even when procreation is impossible. I’m not referring to birth control, a woman is fertile for only a fraction of the days in one month, but her sex drive remains fully active throughout that entire time. Most animals have sexual experiences that last a minute at the most, while humans like to draw out the act for mutual pleasure and to draw each partner closer to the other. How come so many movies end in two people in love embracing each other and why does that make humans feel so good? I know whenever I watch a beautiful love story on TV or on the theater part of me inside feels a pure sense of happiness and pleasure when two people in love are able to be with each other. That may be because I have never been in love and when we are so taken in by a good movie that we live through the screen and share the emotions with the characters. I so want to fall in love that maybe I just associate this “great” feeling with what I hope will happen in my real life experiences granted I ever do find that “special” one. Speaking of that “special” one, who says there is somebody for everyone? There are more men in the world than women, so unless we have a lot of homosexual couples then somebody has to be missing out. So what if you were the one who didn’t have somebody you were destined to be with. How depressing would that feel? To know that you would always be looking, but would never really find anything. Does destiny even really exist? Are we really destined to be with someone? Or is it up to us to find someone with a similar mind and coerce them into falling in love with us. Why do so many people swear they are in complete love with someone to later on have their heart destroyed and then to just repeat this cycle over and over again. Does it really feel better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? Why do so many people have such a problem with intimacy? Is it because in order to get close to someone you have to open yourself up to them and risk being hurt? Why are we so afraid of being hurt? I’d rather feel the pain of once being in a passionate relationship that ended badly then the loneliness of a empty heart still searching for someone special and never having found anyone. What do we learn from each of our “love” experiences? Do we really learn from our mistakes or do we just repeat them over and over again in different ways? Do really passionate people find it easier to fall in love, while serious, less emotional people suffer. Why are people shy? You know that you are attracted to someone and that you like them. So why is it hard to talk to them or hard to say what you want to say? How come the right words are very hard to say sometimes? What is sex without love? The physical sensation is the same, so is anything really missing? Why does it feel much better afterwards when your lying with someone you really care about? Does sex and love really have anything to do with each other? If you can have sex without love, then why not love without sex? How about sex with other people while your in love with someone else? Can you be in love with more than one person and how could each love be real? Isn’t the definition of love include an intimacy between only 2 people? What about Internet relationships? Do you have to have met someone to be in love with them? Does love have to include the physical attraction or could two complete strangers fall in love with each others words? How come when most of these people meet they no longer have the same sense of “love” they felt before? Are they some how broadcasting their past emotions and their hopes onto the screen and no really seeing the real person they barley know? Are these people love sick? Does one ever truly give up on love or is it something that is always there and we are always hoping to find someday. If we never really do give up on love, then how come so many people claim to have done so? Are they just stating this to take away all pressure on themselves to go out and look for their “special” someone? Are they still secretly hoping that they will somehow on accident find that person? Why do some guys “turn down” love and like to go from women to women on purely a sexual basis never wanting an intimate relationship? Is this because they are scared to get close to someone or that they really only need sex and nothing else? What are they really looking for and what happens when they become bored with just sex? How about the women they prey on who think they are in love to find that they have been used. Where they really in love or just suffering from the “might be” or “want to be”? The “might be” is a state of mind which makes us as humans feel really good. The hope of what might be or what might happen is a good feeling. For example on the drive to a party a person feels really good in excitement and anticipation of the “might be”. The “might be” is what gives us hope and encouragement, for some reason we seem to always have it even when in the past it as always gone wrong. The “want to be” is a state where a emotional person wants something to happen so bad that he or she will see it that way even if intellectually it isn’t happening. I believe that most of the women say they are in love with a guy who cheats on them all the time are living in the “want to be”. I think that they know they are not in love and that the guy they are with is not in love with them, but they feel so bad inside and they so need some kind of a relationship that they cling on to what they have and try to see it in the best way possible. They completely live in the “want to be”. What role does society play in love? Is the society we live in best setup for people to find each other and fall in love? How come so many different people go to bed dreaming of love and wake up the same way? In out very busy lives have we kind of put off the concept of love a little bit? Are we not seeing what’s really there and who is really out there? When we go to clubs or go out are we just following a routine? Do we really know what it takes to find someone and have a meaningful relationship? What about break ups? How come after a painful breakup part of us always wants to take some kind of revenge or show the other person how “well” we are doing afterward. If we really loved the person why would we want to take any kind of revenge at all? Is it because the break up also ends our illusions of what we thought the relationship was and were we thought it was going? Are we so hurt and surprised that all we can think about is releasing the pain we feel?

Getting Girls Info

After 1981’s "Merrily We Roll Along" flopped, Stephen Sondheim, American music's last living Genius with a capital “G” (sorry, David Byrne!), lapsed into a depression so severe, he considered quitting musical theater to write video games and mystery novels instead. Yes, video games! Can you the reception "Into The Woods for PSP" could've gotten at Comic-Con?
Here is what the man who, in his late 20s, wrote lyrics for "West Side Story" and "Gypsy," before going onto reinvent Musical Theater entirely, about his mental during the period right after "Merrily" ran for 16 performances, then closed: "I wanted to find something to satisfy myself that does not involve Broadway and dealing with all those people who hate me."
Keep this in mind when professional writers are accused of being too sensitive about World wide web commenters, or when artists are accused by well-meaning friends of taking their reviews too seriously.
Soon after that, Stephen Sondheim did what any of us would have done–he felt awful, he did crosswords, and eventually separated from his longtime director and collaborator, Hal Prince. He spent three years freaking out and being miserable. He felt what it was like to fail.
And then, he started over. Inspired by the George Seurat painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," Sondheim began work with a new director, James Lapine, on the epic "Sunday In the Park with George," one of the few musicals to have ever won a Pulitzer Prize, and probably my favorite of all of his shows.
"Sunday in the Park with George" is, more than anything else, a complicated valentine to the art of making art. The process of creation is a twisted alchemy that’s not easy to rally behind, even for those who haven't been recently burned. But Seurat's relationship with his paintings is depicted in the show as so loving, so inspired, so passionate and wide-eyed and intense, that it's a joy to translate Sondheim's generosity toward that character's process as permission to himself to create again, even after the sting of lousy reception.
It is also a very sexy love story, harrowingly relatable to anyone who's ever been romantically involved with an artist and wanted to steal the attention he had for his work and transform it– with Stevie Nicks-ian witchcraft if necessary–into lust for you. The principal characters in the first act are George Seurat and his muse/GF, Dot.
When Dot finally leaves George after what seems like ages of being taken for granted, they duet on "We Do Not Belong Together," which is a punch in the throat. When Dot hurls out the word "NO" when she sings, "No! You are complete, George. You, all alone,” her delivery wields the kind of cruelty that Bill Murray implied when he fired his parting shot at Chevy Chase, post-fist fight. “Medium talent!" he spat, and Dot's rejection of George has the same effect, but more injured and heaving.
She had taken so much shit from this genius, who painted her and fucked her superior than anyone, who made her feel smart and adored and even got her pregnant, but could never give her more than second billing to his relationship with his work.
Later in the act, George positions the characters he'd been painting throughout the show into his masterpiece, and they all stand perfectly still on stage in “La Grande Jatte” formation. And as he walks up to Dot, who poses in the front, he adjusts her hat and touches her face, and they share a moment together of sad realization that they do NOT indeed belong together in the way that most couples do; how one will pick up the children after work because she’s more flexible with her hours, and the other is more outgoing to cover up for his partner's social anxieties at dinner parties.
But here is the way that George and Dot do fit: together, they made this beautiful painting, because she inspired him, and he labored on it while he she was out living her life. It’s tragic because it's not everything.
The second act of Sunday marked the first of Sondheim's characteristic forays into the topical gravitas of reality, dying, getting older: everything sad and based in truth about what grown-ups are afraid of.
The exposition, rather high-conceptually, concerns George and Dot's love child, Marie, who grew up in America after her mom fled to the with her feckless husband, Louis, who raised Marie as his own. Marie, played by the same actress who plays Dot in Act One, is the grandmother to an installation artist, also named George, and played by the same actor who played Seurat.
Weeks after George's gallery opening, his grandmother Marie dies. And soon after that, George finds himself in a state of creative crisis, having been invited to France to present one of his pieces and feeling like a fraud, a failure, and an artist with no ideas.
He gives up. He sits on a bench in the same park that Seurat once immortalized in oils. And then, Dot appears to him, having walked out of her painting and confused her great-grandson for the lover who painted her into it, years ago. She sings to George: "Move On."
It is here that Sondheim shows what forgiveness is, what love can do. A talented young man, buried by bad notices and crippled with writer's block, finds comfort in the tender sagacity of a muse, who tells him, "Stop worrying if your vision is new. Let others make that decision–they usually do."
To such loving things to a creative person stymied by the grim realities of making things in a commercial world is the ultimate intimacy. And when Dot/Marie pleads, smiling, "Give us more to see," it's a maternal kindness that somehow channels an inner voice within every artist–one that's usually drowned out by self-loathing or doubt or snark or envy or just demonic apathy, whinnying "Don't do that, it's dumb" or "It won't make you any money, what’s the point" or "That anonymous commenter who you write like a high school freshman is right.”
And when that muse recedes again into wherever we live when our physical selves are gone, and all that’s left of us is what we've made for people to enjoy, or fight about, or do whatever art really does for people beyond the ones who make it, George is left on stage alone, with a large white canvas. It’s the same blank space that tortured him moments before. But now, encouraged by the wisdom of that small, kind voice, he instead smiles and rubs his palms together, getting ready to dive back into the process that, he suddenly remembers, has given him so much joy in the past.
It's time to make something new.
Julie Klausner believes in life after love.
Look, Lauren is my favorite of the dancers left. She seems to be the favorite of all of the judges as well. She weds the technical proficiency the dancers on the show have with a winning personality that might remind you of the baby-sitter you had when you were 8. She's good at pretty much whatever the show throws at her, and she's comfortable with all stars, with her fellow contestants and all by herself. The second she was in the bottom three, there was no question that Jose (who has been barely scraping by for weeks now) and Billy (who deserved to make the finals over at least Adechike) were going to be going home.
Frankly, there was no way the judges were sending Lauren home, but there also was no way they were going into the final two weeks without any girls, particularly when there are still one and arguably two (I don't mind Robert as much as some fans) pretty lackluster male dancers left. Even with this late stumble, I'd still put Lauren at the odds-on favorite to win the whole thing unless she cracks under the pressure over the next two weeks (though she should be safe next week under the same "the-judges-will-want-a-girl-around" principle).
Fortunately, tonight's episode gave us a good sense of how Lauren would rise to the occasion, and she did so splendidly. Where Jose mostly seemed to just throw himself around the stage sans rhythm or pacing or anything but a desperate attempt to get the judges to pick him over Billy or Lauren (something he must have known wasn't going to happen) and Billy performed an odd dance that made him look like a spider or something and ate up too much of his time with strange, slow movement, Lauren pulled off a rather sultry number that wedded her technical prowess to some nice moves and a hint of soul. It wasn't her finest moment ever, but it was better than the other two (though Billy's was building to something interesting when he was cut off).
Other than that, though, the whole thing was kind of beside the point. The opening group number was fun, as always, and featured Allison nicely, but the rest of the episode felt incredibly rushed, as though the producers felt the strain of getting the musical numbers all in there. [For the record: The original version of this post said that the number featured Lauren, not Allison.] And it wasn't enough to just show a shortened trailer for "Step Up 3D." There also had to be a full number featuring the dancers from the movie that, frankly, left me wanting to change channels. I know that a couple of the cast members in the motion picture are from the series itself, but the nice thing about a show like this is that you form relationships with the contestants, and leaving them for four or five minutes is never a good idea.
The same goes for the musical numbers, which have never been this show's strong suit. One was by the artist Christian TV, and the other was by Allison Iraheta. Neither was terribly memorable, though the Christian number, at least, was better than the "Step Up 3D" thing that preceded it. The thing that has made the "So You Think You Can Dance" results shows so entertaining all these years is that they feature the dancers from the show trying new things. I'm sure with all of the injuries this season, the producers are wary of having the dancers do too much beyond their routines they're already scheduled for, which is understandable, but there has to be a better way to fill the time.
Anyway, when it all came down to it, the producers kept Lauren, as anyone could have predicted, but not until after Nigel took the time to lambaste America and/or the show's critics for any variety of sins. He also offered strange, strange farewells to Billy and Jose, and to Billy, at one point, "We love you soaring through the air when you dance, but please keep your feet firmly on the ground in life," which makes sense but only barely. But, then again, Nigel's ramblings are a part of the show, so they're easier to tolerate. It's just too bad that we had to lose Billy this early.
In the future, then, let's hope that "So You Think You Can Dance" keeps the promotional material to a minimum and focuses on the dancers we know and love doing fun dances. And let's hope that Lauren wins the whole thing, going away.
