Myna
Myna is a multi-track audio editor, similar to Garage Band but in your web browser. It’s easy and fast to pop clips and loops into tracks, drag them around, apply standard effects and fades, and then mix the whole thing down so you can download it as one file. Myna comes with a library of riffs and sound effects.
Incredibox is a fun little application to create music and discover the musical universe of “The Incredible Polo“, handling a range of “human beat-box” sounds created by the artist.
YourVersion is one of the People’s Choice winners of the recent TechCrunch50 DemoPit. Similar to Digg and Reddit but without users submissions, this discovery engine recommends new content based on your interests and past searches, updated in real-time. Vote for the content you like using thumbs up or thumbs down.
Gist is a service that helps you build stronger relationships by giving you business-critical information about key people and companies in your network of contacts.
