Is there anything more frustrating than working on your homework late at night, you get stuck on a problem and there is no one you can get a hold of for assistance? This is where Cramster, a site to help you with your homework, comes into play. If your homework is in the fields such as math, science, engineering and so on, this is the perfect site for when you get stuck in those late night cram sessions. You go on the site, pose your question, and instead of just getting an answer, users are encouraged to explain the steps they took to arrive at their answer so that you can actually learn from them. Some of the problems I took a peek at, even with explanations, made me scratch my head, but the people who needed the answers seemed thrilled. The company currently enjoys being the top educational app on Facebook in addition to their popular website, and as time goes on, they will be adding more of their functionality into the app to make it even more usable. As for the future plans for the original site, you can expect to see the addition of more professors answering questions, and a whole slew of new practice questions both licensed from text book publishers, as well as created by users. I had the chance to speak with both Robert Angarita and Aaron Hawkey about the site, and the future plans for it.

Lots of people have been letting others know on Twitter what they're listening to as they work through their day, but what if you could also include the actual MP3 for people to join in and listen along?

This is the idea behind Blip, a new service from Fuzz. that allows you to microblog ala Twitter, but with the added feature of using an MP3 search to embed the song you are currently listening to into the post so that others can check it out. Unlike SeeqPod, which has run afoul of legal questions, Blip is "Obviously it is legal and it's covered by the DMCA," according to Fuzz CEO, Jeff Yasuda.

One of the most amazing things about Blip is they have done something that everyone has cried out for Twitter to do: a self-refreshing feed page! What a novel concept!  It's true, the page updates itself without hitting refresh... it's obviously demonic magic.

We sat down with Gavin Hayes, lead singer of Dredg, to get his thoughts on what Blip brings to the music industry, as well as what he, as a musician, would like to see change in the dynamics of the industry. I have to say I was quite intrigued by his thoughts on pre-sales of albums, and how that might be a way to bring the artist and fans closer together.
