Developers of New Music App Donate Proceeds towards Aid and Repair of Devastated Area

LOS ANGELES – The developers of DigitSongs for iPhone have recently announced that they will be contributing 20% of proceeds earned to Haitian relief efforts . Each download will generate funds to assist rebuilding  in the region which is now plagued by devastation.

“This is a massive disaster.” said Jacob Shallman, co-creator of DigitSongs. “Every one of us needs to do our part to help and today’s technology allows for that to happen. It would be careless for us (DigitSongs) not to contribute to our full potential.”

DigitSongs is available for your iPhone for 0.99 and features unlimited usage to create and use as many songs and ringtones as you like.

For more information, go to www.MyDigitSongs.com.

DIGITSONGS
J-Dov Media announced their brand new app, DigitSongs™ for iPhone in December 2009. Users can now create ringtones in a variety of musical genres including Hip Hop, Rock, Pop and more, simply using their telephone numbers. In addition, users can also create ringtones for every phone number in their  list. Since each phone number is different, every song is unique, personalizing the experience. Unlimited sampling and downloads allows users to preview different phone numbers as DigitSongs and save them as ringtones. The app is becoming increasingly popular and has already been mentioned as one of Entertainment Weekly Tech Picks of the Week.

The Catcher In the Rye - By J.D. Salinger

I took to reading at around 17 or 18 years old. Don’t get me wrong, I knew how to read before then, I just didn’t like to. My A.D.D. wouldn’t have it.

Catcher In the Rye was one of the few books that made the cut for me earlier on. I was around 14 years old when a friend turned me on to the coolest, most anti-grown-up thing I’d ever read. It was a living thing with its own red cover and gold-yellow lettering.

And the author’s name was J.D. Salinger – so cool.

I read it and kept it like a secret. It was a rebellious book written just for me; a kid who wanted to rebel.

When I finally told my mom that I read  Catcher, she smiled and told me that she remembered sitting with her girlfriends when she was my age, reading from the same “dirty book” and reveling in the sweet magic of teenage rebellion.

I’d like to propose a toast to the creator of a timeless classic that has and will continue to live on through generations. Heck, you even managed to entertain me.

Rest in peace, Mr. Salinger.

Greetings!

Another year for the history books and, WOW, what a year it was! The word I would use to describe 2009 is inspiring. So many out there are currently struggling or have struggled through a challenging economy with some losing their jobs and businesses and having to start over at square one. However, I have also seen some of these very same professionals fight the fight and come back with a vengeance.

Our first asset? Creativity. A challenging economy presents us with an incredible opportunity: a challenge. It forces us to leave our comfort zones so we can learn new methods of survival, acquire new networking skills and generate ideas and options from thin air. It also forces us to become better at what we do.

We have been fortunate to have online social media platforms such as Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube to enable us to make the entire world aware of our talents and services in an instant, at no charge. I became committed to learning how to ride the ever-changing waves of online public relations and marketing, which has strengthened my abilities and benefitted my clients. I took “old school” strategies and combined them with the new media. More importantly, I made new contacts and friends, which leads me to our second asset: each other.

I guess now we can finally get over the fear that computers will eventually cause everyone to become Howard Hughes type recluses. Networks are constantly evolving. People are actually helping people by getting each other jobs and gigs, hence spreading the money around. From what I can see, the human connection is growing stronger through technology, not weaker.

So, here is my final take on 2009 and my prayer for 2010: This past year has been a learning- through-fire period for so many of us. Now is the time to kick it into action. Now is the time to be better than yesterday. Now is the time to recognize our two greatest assets: Our creativity and each other.

May Gd bless you and yours with a happy, healthy and successful new year.

Sincerely,

Daniel
