Mixcloud Wants to be the YouTube of Radio
Mixcloud is an online radio site that wants to be the “YouTube of Radio”. The site helps connect radio content to listeners via radio shows, Podcasts and DJ mixes. And best of all, it’s free! (See video below).
Mixcloud refers to the radio content as Cloudcasts; audio shows that are stored in the “cloud” and available to be streamed on-demand.
Like YouTube, anyone can create an account and upload their content. The community then decides what they like and what gets to the top of the popularity charts. Mixcloud accepts all types of radio content from talk to music shows that have 5 tracks or more in MP3 format.

Ebay wants your help to determine who should win $25,000 to grow their business on eBay. EBay started the contest several weeks ago and it ended on July 7, however, now the public will choose a winner.
Contestants had to answer one simple question with a basic business plan and video summation. The contest is in partnership with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the world’s largest foundation devoted to entrepreneurship.
Contestants were able to enter their plan in one of four categories:
- Current or former members of the Unites States armed forces
- Individuals or small businesses who have not sold on eBay
- Part-time sellers who want to go full-time on eBay
- Full-time eBay sellers who want to grow their business further
One winner in each category will receive a $25,000 grant to bring their plan to life. eBay has narrowed the entries down to 8 finalists and now is allowing the eBay community members to vote for 1 winner in each category at sellerschallenge.ebay.com. Runners up will each receive $5,000 to apply to their business.
