Was scanning an article “Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On” written by Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle for the recent web2.0 summit, and I was attracted by the Smule’s Ocarina application for iPhone.

How conveneient (: (of cos here assumed you owned an iPhone). Check out the video below, AND do read O’Reilly and Battelle’s article to get a glimpse of the world we’re advancing into, if we are not already into it (:

if one lives to work, probably you should go back to this story (:
