Its really kinda crazy how much these doe-eyed ladies look alike and for awhile I thought they were the same person. Then I saw this picture: Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry OK. So, now Im convinced that they are different people but I still get them mixed up. Usually I go by the clothes or the cleavage. If it looks like something a grandma would wear it is most likely Zooey. If there are 2 humongous boobs barely hanging onto a small sliver of clothes acting as a bra it is most likely Katy. But theres a lot of middle ground with the two as they both like to dress quirky and have that wide-eyed look. Sometimes its too hard to tell which is which so thats why I made this awesome gallery of Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry to help you distinguish the two.

' Digg v4: release, iterate, repeat. - 'At Digg it's our job to try new things, analyze the usage data, iterate, and evolve. While not everyone is happy w/the new design, as of right now the usage looks extremely good (ie. more people registering (43,000+ new users yesterday), digging, consuming, clicking, following, etc.). Our top priority is to stabilize the site, then we'll look at the data/feedback and make decisions on what to change going forward. That said, I want to address some of the common concerns I've seen dug up. The upcoming section is gone.Out of 200+ Million pageviews in July, only 0.4% was from upcoming (yes, that's less than 1/2 of a percent). I definitely see the fun behind wanting to see stories just before they jump, so we'll add a view of upcoming popular stories soon. Mainstream outlets and power users have been given more power over the front page.All diggs are still equal, nothing has changed there. Our directory of recommended users will eventually open to the entire world. We will sort users, not on popularity (followers), but based on how good you are at finding/digging content (similar to wefollow.com). This will remove the popularity contest and put the focus on quality diggers. The default homepage is now "My News" and cannot be changed.Makes sense, we'll add this setting. All your favorites have been deletedOur fault, we'll add these to your "saved stories" section. Comments from your friends preempt the main discussion.This was by design, we wanted to give you a quick way to see your friends comments. The comment box is three lines high, not resizable, and type out light blue text on white.We just changed the text to dark grey, we'll look into the resizing. Timestamps have been removed.This is a bug, hope to have this fixed soon. The bury button is gone.By removing the bury button we have put a stop to the bury brigades. The "hide" button next to every story also acts as a "report" button, if enough people hide a story a site moderator is notified and we review it for TOS violations. The report button is gone.It's located on every permalink page (comments page) under the story description. Historicalsubmissions, like the Obama victory thread, have had their digg counts reset and their comment sections mangled.We will fix this. The color scheme has changed.We refreshed the design. If something is unusable (hard to read etc.) please let us know. The thumb up and down icons have been replaced w/arrows.Look at v3, now back again, the arrows are now diamonds!

Get into the Groov...

Has anybody here ever seen the show "Later with Jools Holland"? It is a British show that comes on the BBC. It is very popular in Brittan. Anywho, the concept of the show is that the host, Jools, invites a different set of about 3 or 4 artists for each show. It is usually a mixture of famous and unknown artists from around the world. They are all assembled together on a stage in a semi-circle around and each artist gets a chance to perform, one at a time. I love this show. It is a constant on my TiVo. This morning I was making one of my daily visits to DigitalFuntown when it occurred to me how much Organic Groov has in common with "Later with Jools Holland". I get so much more out of my visits to DigitalFuntown than I do with most of the other music sites I was going to. Digging into a performance on Organic Groov is like checking out an Indie Jazz artist at a small, intimate show at a cafe, but with more. The separation between artist and audience disappears and everyone rides the Organic Groov together. It is a true, valid experience. And, like watching a cool set on the tube with Jools, as a viewer you can create whatever backdrop you want for the show. Get it together with a couple of friends, check it out with your girl or just kick back by yourself, a bottle of wine and get into the Groov. I have friends that have argued that they have to see an artist live to really appreciate them. I'm always telling them to go to DigitalFuntown and check out Organic Groov. I have a group of friends that come over to my place to watch “Later with Jools Holland” and after the show wraps up I switch on some Organic Groov performances. They were instant converts. It is true, nothing can ever replace a live show, but what DigitalFuntown has going on with Organic Groov is something that is completely new. It’s why it is called Organic Groov. You just can't judge it by standards that are already set up. It needs a whole new set of parameters. You have to see this before you can rule on it. It really is an experience unto itself. You get the sound and visual clarity of the best produced music videos and shows. Organic Groov comes to you in mind-blowin' High Definition. You get the fresh, raw intimacy of a live performance in front of live audiences from the most happenin' Smooth Jazz nightclub in Chicago. And after the set, with the artist interview, it's like the performer just finished a set and sticks around for a Q & A with the fans. Plus, you get to set your own environment with a setting that is completely up to you. And, to top it all off, it's free! Combining these aspects make for a new, unique experience that I like to plug into as often as possible. It's the evolution of music. Long live Organic Groov! Long live Digital Funtown!  Read Comments..

The Evolution of Musicians in the Digital Age

Art of any kind can be a tough sell, especially when everyone is pinching pennies just a little. Despite this predicament, however, great indie music has never had a hard time flourishing. There is always a market for music, and maybe even more so when times are rough. Hard times bring out creativity in artists, and passion in listeners in a way that simpler eras just can’t inspire. Possibly no genre of music is affected more by a rough economy than Indie Jazz. There is no greater salve for the troubles soul than a soulful, warm jazz groove. Studies have shown that in times of national stress, popular music tastes invariably trend toward the subtle complexity of genres like Neo Soul, Jazz, and artful funk. During times like these, creativity, and the ability to inspire are the most sought after talents in entertainment. So Indie Jazz and Neo Soul artists, who will always have it hard, at least get a little break during times like these. Not only do people want desperately to hear their music, but marketing has never been an easier prospect. In this incredibly connected world of YouTube, video blogs, and video media websites are all over the web. Sites like DigitalFunTown.com serve as a perfect link between artists who want to promote themselves in local areas like Chicago, and listeners all over the country who want a chance to sample new music. Online video sites also serve the unique purpose of bringing people to music that would ordinarily never have a chance to encounter it. A web savvy surfer can watch a small show in Denver that was filmed in DC. Artists can expand their fan base far beyond their comfortable tour locations. Everyone wins in the arrangement, and music has a chance to grow because of it. Perhaps that’s why it’s no surprise then, that more and more genres of music are fusing together to form new styles. Neo Soul and Indie Jazz are forged together out of classical Jazz popular in the 40’s and 50’s, mixed with infusions of easy listening, pop, and R&B. There could be no healthier progression of music than this hybrid of styles melting together, and there is probably no better place for it than the internet. There are no nationalities online, and no borders. Artists in the US can collaborate freely with those in the UK, or in Asia. The internet is a melting pot like one never before experienced. In places like Chicago, there is a huge diversity of people, and the artists there are an equally diverse group of entertainers. However, with the advent of the internet, and social networking sites like Myspace and Digitalfuntown, artists can take their music anywhere in the world, and fans can tune in from just as broad a region. Online, ideas and styles can mix, and change to ultimately form the next evolution of modern music.  Read Comments..
