Musicians, get the word out with Divvycast

by Chris Gilmer Oct 10th 2006

Divvycast lets bands, artists, producers and DJ's make money by using their service, and tools to bring their creations to the audience.

Divvycast supplies publishing and creative tools that publish podcasts in a professional manner, and hook them up to high traffic areas like iTunes and Yahoo to spread the word. The service is free for 15 days, plans start at $9.95. Divvycast's production application called ePodcast Creator, is available for Mac and PC users. Once your podcast gets all packaged up into a personal URL and RSS feed, Divvycast helps spread the word through their associations with different podcast channels like iTunes and Yahoo. Once sponsors are magically interested in your podcast, you can manage your campaigns though the Divvycast system, and include the ads at the beginning and end of the podcast.

You have nothing to lose when you are independent! You have to spread the word and show people your talent, and Divvycast might be able to help you out. Is it worth the $9.95/month, and will it get you advertisers? Maybe not. Divvycast should really look at a $30 application that can be downloaded and used with no restrictions as well. This might make it a little more appealing to users. That monthly fee hurts.

Thanks for your kind words. I wanted to let you know that our opening has been so successful that we are opening up an additional tier offering free hosting to bands. We are very, very pleased at the initial response to Divvycast!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
