Powerset is a great new way to browse and use Wikipedia and Freebase. It provides a nice clean user interface and lays out all the information in a very usable way. It also does a great job of showing related articles which i found extremely helpful while researching. I definitely recommend giving Powerset a try and maybe even using it instead of Wikipedia.

Every day new amazing web apps are coming out that outdo the desktop apps that they mock. The newest one is an electronic music studio called Audio Tool that is made by Hobnox. The best part of all of this is that they have made it completely free! There is also a great tutorial if you are new to music creation.

It lets you compose with two TB-303 Bass Line generators, Roland TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines and two banks of effects pedals including three delays, crusher, detune, flanger, reverb, a parametric equalizer and a compressor. By clicking the mouse button you can drag “cables” between any output and any input to create your own custom setup.

Currently their is no way to save your creations to your computer(but Hobnox says they are working to implement it) but there are a few workarounds.

I’ve got a few invites for the awesome new A.viary website, which is basically a bunch of online editors. Currently they have just launched Phoenix(Image Editor, like Photoshop) and Peacock(Pattern Maker) but they have a huge list of different apps they are working on. If you would like an invite just leave a comment on this post and the first few comments will get an invite.
