If, like me, you are always looking for new music, or forcing your favourite bands upon your friends' cloth ears, Blip might just be for you.
Described by its developer, Fuzz, as 'Twitter for music', with Blip you can share whatever song takes your fancy, along with a little message as to why it's currently stuck in your head. Once your mates have added themselves as listeners to your profile, just sit back and listen to a real-time playlist of all the tracks they've Blipped, or to really expand your musical horizons, a tracklist of the whole network's latest updates.
This week Georgia swaps her RAZR, Chocolate and Walkman phones for something a bit more up to date, takes the wine rack round Covent Garden and mugs up on Transformers. Watch on.
As you'll know if you read Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest, last week saw Mobile World Congress take place in beautiful Barcelona. Part of the VMTA winners' prize was a trip with the Shiny Media crew to that very event - and we're pleased to be able to show you what they got up to.
First let's take a look at Georgia's glimpse at LG's - oh yes - Watch Phone. The future has arrived, folks. The splendid editing, naturally, is provided by our other VMTA winner, Richard.
And so to the winners! Georgia's (aka georgia la) charisma gives her an identifiably "Shiny" presence, and, like the video with which she entered the competition, she didn't let the odd mishap affect her composure - an invaluable quality, as Shiny Media's videobloggers will testify.
Richard (aka ten98), meanwhile, edited the review to create a simple yet effective clip which showcases the product - the LG KF600 phone - and the presenter effectively. Great teamwork!
These two stars-in-waiting are, as we speak, at the Mobile World Conference with the Shiny Media team - we eagerly await their reports from the blogging front line!
Here we see two more of our runners-up in the LG VMTA. Like many of our entrants, Matt - aka Smivadee - has a strong following on YouTube, and his review of LG's KF600 showed the confidence that secured him a place in the final. Lynne - aka LMD327 - worked her magic on the footage to edit together a snappy video.
Well, we've told you who the winners of the LG Video Media Talent Award are - but how about checking out some of the footage from the day of judgement itself?
Below we have Jane, aka StylistBrighton, who was pipped for the presenter spot but remains a very talented on-screen presence. Something tells us we'll be seeing Jane again on a screen near us again soon. Maybe because we know her YouTube channel URL.
Anyway, here's Jane's bash at reviewing the LG KF600 phone.
The LG Video Media Talent Award is a competition, running until 1st January, to find two interns to train with Shiny Media’s top video blogging team and develop skills in presenting or filming/editing. Hoping to start a career in the video media industry?
