Loopnote launches


Loopnote is a way to keep everyone in the loop. You setup your group of friends, fans, band members, family, whatever, and Loopnote will basically broadcast alerts to everyone via RSS, SMS, Email, or IM. Fused with the ability to search or browse loopnotes socially, you can subscribe to notes from other users. Honestly, I am not quite sure what the value is to that right now, unless you already know the person. Most of the loopnotes available for perusal are podcast-wannabes it seem like. A way for people with too much to say to say stuff across multi-protocols and people will want to receive notes like this? Doesn't quite make sense, but this isn't the service's focus, simply the content that exists in the directory. I could see many bands using this as a free way to let fans know about upcoming shows and other such applications.

Scratch - Today's Free File

scratchMy buddy Wise (a real DJ) would cringe at the sight of this app. It's a mouse-based loop scratcher. Torment the cats! It's pretty simple: load an audio file, then get to whippin' that mouse around for those crazy DJ scratch noises. There are scant settings, which I suppose is a good thing... Anyway, it's a very simple app, with one real purpose. Great for working in apps like Acid though, making your own scratch loops. The developer could probably refrain from using all those exclamation points in the description, but at least it's Y2K compliant, which is why it still works, right? AnalogX makes a bunch of crazy apps, so if Scratch isn't your cup of tea, there might be something else on the site to interest you...

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
