social networking and the music business
People were becoming more concerned about data mining and heavy-handed marketing, he added. "What we are trying to do is put the heart and soul back into online music communities. People need a place where they can enthuse and discover and they are doing it for the love of it, rather than the profit factor. Music is too important to be left in the hands of the music business."

" If you spot a speed trap, you can report it just by clicking the screen. If you're approaching a speed trap, Trapster will speak to you (in one of several selectable voices) to let you know."
