DeliRadio “Technology changes Radio”

image

TECH: Music is submitted by various bands across the country and is automatically feed through an API to immediately alert listeners of live shows in their geographical location, you can then download and purchase tickets as well as invite friends on social platforms. There is no need to leave the platform in order to interact with the musician of your choice!

TRANSLATION: Unlike Pandora this application keeps track of your location and pushes opportunities for live music interaction between you and your friends. That is the one thing I really dislike about Pandora it constantly forces me to listen to ads from Texas when I am in California. If you have a way to update my location (without creating a new account) please let me know! Honestly it should automatically send me ads based on my location I should not be forced to update it. But it is nice to hear about all of the new advances and renovations in Dallas!
DeliRadio appears to catch on quickly. Listening to music is one thing but being able to go see them in real life is another!
Don’t you just hate when you find out an artist was in your town LAST NIGHT!

Apparent I am not he only one who approves of Wayne Skeen and his vision of music tech!
DeliRadio just closed a 9.35 million round of funding.

“Once musicians submit music, the rest of the process is handled by DeliRadio. Since one’s music is played based on touring appearances, DeliRadio is designed to support your live performances, including play on venue-based radio stations, as a form of marketing with links for more concert info and ticket purchasing.

DeliRadio also offers musicians the opportunity to sell music directly to fans. Artists get 100% of money received for sales. You also have the option to link to iTunes and other outlets for your music.”

Sprint wants your Soul! Introduces Unlimited EVERYTHING for Life!

Sprint wants your soul
Sprint wants your soul

It’s been a busy week for the folks over at Sprint. Not only did the carrier rebrand itself as the Sprint Corporation, and complete its buyout deal with SoftBank, but today it announced two new rate plans that include unlimited talk, text and data.

While the unlimited data itself is notable—few carriers still offer this—the real highlight of the plans is the lifetime guarantee. That’s right, in a world where the rules seem to change every other year, Sprint is promising unlimited everything, forever…

From the press release:

“Sprint (NYSE: S), the long-time leader in offering unlimited wireless services, is launching The Sprint Unlimited GuaranteeSM. The Sprint Unlimited Guarantee guarantees customers unlimited talk (calls to any wireline or mobile phone), text and data while on the Sprint network, for the life of the line of service. This guarantee is applicable to both new and existing customers who sign up for Sprint’s new Unlimited, My Way plan or My All-in plan. These plans and The Sprint Unlimited Guarantee are available starting July 12.”

With the new My Way plan, Sprint customers can get unlimited talk, text and data for as low as $80 per month. And they can add a line to that for an additional $40 per month (not including data), two lines for $30 extra per month, or three lines for $20.

sprint plans

With the My All-in plan, customers get everything listed above, as well as hotspot functionality with a 5GB monthly data allowance. If you don’t need 5GB, you can add the hotspot feature a la carte to the My Way plan for $10 a month for 1GB.

According to Sprint, its customers will save $240 per year over Verizon customers, and $120 per year over AT&T and T-Mobile with these new plans. And as aforementioned, they’ll be available—with the lifetime guarantee—starting July 12.

It’s actually a very interesting time to be a wireless subscriber in the US. Sprint’s announcement comes hot on the heels of T-Mobile’s big ‘Jump’ promo, which will let customers upgrade their devices up to twice a year. Verizon, AT&T, your move guys.

 

Are you planning to sell your soul to sprint?

I just might!

Why I will not be calling Facebook Home

As you know you will have the option to have a Facebook phone, Home.

It is slated as an android experience you don’t want to miss. But I think you might want to miss this one.

imagesFacebook knows enough about me as it is, they are sponsored by the FBI, so I don’t need to give them insight on my phone calls.

In my option, Do not call Facebook Home at best visit them at www.facebook.com at your discretion , but giving them access to your life 24/7 so it can be sold to the highest bidder is insane.

Your thoughts?

Innovation Month helps tell the story of San Francisco as the best place to live, work and play. More than any other city, San Francisco is uniquely poised to innovate and invent the future right here, right now, by capitalizing on our greatest resource – our people. And innovation isn’t just about technology – it’s about a different way of thinking and approaching our problems. It is through innovative approaches to crime fighting and community involvement that San Francisco remains one of the safest big cities in America. It is through new ways to make it easier for companies to do business in SF.

Is it hard being an Android in Silicon Valley?

Many look at me as if I work for NASA. In complete awe and amazement. They look down at my hand as if to say “What is that?” Where do you get that? And is that made on earth?

Being in the tech hub of the world people expect you to have Apple, and why shouldn’t they….the international Global headquarters is down the street. However I am making a bold statement and I back Samsung. Which I am not going to lie it can be very lonely,but a GREAT conversation starter!

Yes its actually made by Samsung, right here on this planet
