Mixwit

Hot on the heels of Muxtape, a new (I think?) service called Mixwit lets you create mixtapes that are a little different.
  • The tapes are visually more fun
  • They're sharable on a blog
  • It's flash-based (so unlike Muxtape, no iPhone compatibility)
  • You can have multiple tapes per user
But most fundamentally different, Mixwit's pretty well protected from a C&D order by the fact that they don't even host music. All they do is let you search using Skreemr and Seeqpod, two already cool services, and grab the audio from the results.

It's a little lacking in social features, but much like Muxtape, a lot of the fun comes from randomly discovering new mixes and seeing what people have done with it.

Here's a tape I made of old ska, rocksteady, and reggae from the 60s and early 70s.

Snipshot

Putting images in blog posts is all fun and games until your desktop is cluttered with a bunch of JPGs of David Hasselhoff's record covers and Andy Gibb memorabilia. What if you could grab that image from the web, resize it and edit it to your liking, and then save it without ever downloading the original or laying a finger on Photoshop? Freakin crazy. I'm probably way behind the times here (what am I? Tech Crunch?), but I never saw the use in a web-based photo editor. It definitely makes sense to me now though.

Snipshot's the best one I've seen so far. It lets you take an image from a URL or your hard drive, and does some really swell, simple editing in a friendly environment. Then it saves them in whatever format you choose, or exports them to Flickr. Pretty swanky. I even used it to resize this SnipShot logo.
