My nominee for “Fun Web Service of The Year” is Smirk. With a web cam and a few clicks of the mouse, users can create video icons that reflect up to nine different ‘moods’. Users can embed the video icons most anywhere on the web — their social network pages, websites and blogs. Whenever a user changes their ‘mood’, their icon is changed to reflect the new ‘mood’ on the various sites where the Smirk is embedded.

There’s a number of significant, but less obvious potential applications for Smirk. The boys at Particle Programmatica (Crush3r, p0pulist) are behind the new offering. I, for one, will be interested to see how the product ramps and develops.

Chicago . . . wow! The Chi might be putting out the freshest underground music, artists & producers in the nation right now. Kid Sister has been making noise for 2 years or so. Her previous highlight had been being anointed ‘the Next 100′ with a cover story for URB magazine in 2006 (along with her brother’sDJ group Flosstradamus). Her act and her star has been rising, but much of the online media on her was inhibiting her growth. It didn’t really capture the essence of what’s so electric about her performances and music. Well . . .

Her new Pro Nails video kills it. She won’t be underground for much longer. Stay around long enough to catch the vamp in the last :45 seconds of the video. For those unfamiliar with Chicago’s Juke Scene, it’s a hot little glimpse.

We don’t really cover T&A here, but as we participated in the debate over Kyla Ebbert’s short skirt, her removal from a Southwest Airline’s flight and the subsequent apology from the fashion police at Southwest, we felt the need to at least mention the surprise (kidding) ending to this story.

My man Mo. Billionaire sure knows how to pick ‘em. A few years ago, I was booking an after party to Memphis in May and wanted to do a big multi-DJ night. He went on and on about this DJ-duo out of Chicago that he promised would be stars. That duo was none other thanFlosstradamus and no sooner than 1 year after my party, URB anointed them “The Next 100” with a cover story.

Well, the Billionaire is at it again and so am I. (more…)

If you’ve ever read this site, then you know that we like technology and love James Brown. What to do when a little viral gem comes along that combines the two?

This is a little sketch, but let me know you think
