Tweet #1 - Steve Jobs

It was with great sadness that the FLIPP office learnt of Steve Jobs' passing. The devices here at FLIPP are Apple products and as Emily tweeted on Thursday it's because of people like Steve Jobs that our team are able to do the work we do and love every minute of it. His 2005 commencement address to Stanford University is extremely inspirational, and was viewed of 8 million times yesturday alone. Cheer's to you Steve.

Tweet #2 - Rdio Offers a FREE Account

Thursday was also a big day for the music industry, music streaming service Rdio announced the availability of a free plan. Previously they only offered a two-tier pricing system, but this new plan offers the ability to stream a limited number of songs at no cost. This opens the door for Rdio to gain wider adoption and play in the big leagues of other music streaming services, most notably European-born Spotify. Learn more about Rdio's platform and pricing system by visiting their website, Rdio.com.

Tweet #3 - Redsigning the Bicycle Light

SXSW alumni @slipaustin tweeted an intersting Kickstarter project this week. Revolights, a San-Francisco based startup, is rethinking the way we design bicycle lights and they need our help. By utilizing a pulsing array of LED lights, a complicated mathmatics algorithm, and a clever mounting system they've managed to create an eye-catching prototype they hope to polish into a finished product. Learn more about the project and help them fund it by visiting the Revolights Kickstarter page.
