My week on the web

Web browsers icons

Here are the websites I bookmarked into my del.icio.us account over the past seven days:

  • MySong: Automatic Accompaniment for Vocal Melodies
    Microsoft project application that automatically chooses chords to accompany a vocal melody, allowing a user with no musical training to rapidly create accompanied music. Results on this page, pretty impressive.
  • JungleDisk - Reliable online storage powered by Amazon S3
    'Jungle Disk is an application that lets you store files and backup data securely to Amazon.com's S3 ™ Storage Service [...] no minimum and no maximum amount of data you can store. You pay only for the actual amount of storage you are using.'
  • WhoCallsMe?
    'user supplied database of phone numbers of [...] companies that don't leave messages, disconnect once you answer, ignore the Do-Not-Call List regulations, and simply interrupt your day.' (I used it to trace missed calls from an 0845 number).
  • 5 Ways to Find More Friends on Twitter - ReadWriteWeb
    Twubble (people your friends follow), Twitter Local (tweets near a postcode), TwitterWho (tweets matching email addresses), Twits Like Me (tweets that share your interests), TwitDir (the top 100 followed, followers, favouriters, updaters).
  • Free Online Course Materials | MIT OpenCourseWare
    'OCW is a free publication of course materials used at MIT. Get lecture notes, problem sets, labs and more. Watch lecture videos and demonstrations. Study a wide variety of subjects.'
