iPhones and BlackBerrys aren't the only ones with celebrity fans - the T-mobile G1 can claim the band We Are Scientists. Watch two of the band's members demo the imeem app for the G1 in the most adorable hipster way ever.

Just when it can't get cuter, they give Compaq a shout-out.

Website of the Day: imeem

Do you want a place where you can share your favorite music and music videos (like a musically inclined YouTube), but can also show off your fave photos you took from that Ghostland Observatory show you went to last week? Me too, which is why I love imeem. I can make my own music and video playlists, photo galleries, and now I can even chop up and edit my photos directly on imeem - which means less time editing in Photoshop or iPhoto, and more time browsing for new artists to fall in love with.

What's more, imeem tells you when your fave artists are coming to town (just like Sonic Living) so you never miss a show. . .ever! I can't think of a better reason to add imeem to my bookmark toolbar - a very exclusive spot to be!

Google Search Now Displays Audio Tracks For Song Queries

GeekSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:44:06 -0700

Ever since my first Google search, life as I knew it changed forever. Google is really revving up their search engine thanks to small but helpful enhancements like being able to find your friends on social networking sites or by refining your search results by date and time.

And now that Google has teamed up with companies like imeem, Pandora, Lala, Sony Music, EMI, and WB, they are now able to deliver a new music search feature that makes it easy to discover music and listen to the track from one of these partner companies.

Even if you don't know the artist or the song name, you can type in some lyrics, and Google web search will do its best to search songs that have those particular words. If you try your own Google music search and the audio tracks don't appear, be patient because Google is slowly rolling out the feature across the US over the next day. Although if you do want to take it for a test drive, you can do so here.

Keep Up With Your Social Life by Adding Yoono to Firefox

Seriously, keeping up with all my social networks could be a full-time job. Between Twittering my latest obsession, to updating my Facebook profile, I feel as though I should be getting paid to network. Oh wait. . .

So it would be insanely awesome to have just one place to go to keep up with the on-goings of my pals, get instant updates on the latest Tweets, and even IM my friends. Dreams, meet reality. His name is Yoono. Yoono is a free Firefox add on that lets you do all that in one little sidebar. Plus, it's pretty easy on the eyes.

To see which sites Yoono supports, just read more.

Yoono can keep you up on your Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Myspace, Aim, Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, and Imeem accounts so you don't have to log in to the sites separately to update a thing - it's all in one spot on your browser! How convenient, indeed.
