News broke yesterday that Apple surpasses Google in titleholder of World’s Most Valuable Brand. Google wants it back. One of their initiatives is to tap into the iTunes and music market with their new platform which is currently dubbed Music Beta. Essentially Google Music will be a cloud of your music as it will allow you to upload your personal music collection to listen anywhere, keep everything in sync, and forget the hassles of cables and files. The platform will be accessible on the web, as well as through tablet, and mobile devices. We’re watching Round 1 of Google vs. Apple…

Sorry Curtis but it looks like Sleek Audio did some market research analysis and concluded that no one was going to buy your Beats By Dre knockoff headphones – Sleek By 50. Not only did they drop 50 Cent but they dropped the whole G-Unit licensing agreement. G-G-G-G-U-NOT!
Sleek Audio today announced the termination of the Brand License Agreement between Sleek Audio LLC (“Sleek”) and G-Unit Brands, Inc. (“G-Unit”), 50 Cent’s licensing company. In addition, the Brand License Agreement, including video production, between TV Goods, Inc, Sleek and G-Unit has also been terminated.
“We will be re-evaluating our Wireless Hybrid over-the-ear headphones at a later date. Currently we are working to bring our new, U.S.-made in-ear products to the market,” said Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio.

Twitter Buys Out TweetDeck For $50 Million

In Twitter’s company growth expansion movement, they have recently purchased very popular (the desktop app that I use and recommend) third-party client TweetDeck for an estimated $50 million. I hear next up is Uber Media, the makers of popular BlackBerry Twitter app UberSocial. I’m not sure what Twitter is going to do once they buy out these apps but I’m sure they’ll use it to their strengths to regulate certain privileges of what those third-party apps allow you to do which Twitter.com doesn’t. Hopefully they don’t ruin my TweetDeck!

It looks like all of those Ellen Degeneres appearances scored George Wastky some paying gigs. Good for him. Rapping fast (and being pale) is a pretty unique skill so glad to see him monetizing it. I wonder if his head got too big for the little people now that he’s on that corporate Samsung SH100 Camera money. You went to middle school with my girlfriend, George – hit me up and let’s do an interview! Hit the jump to the lyrics to this new rap from the San Francisco kid.

Introducing: Uber50 Twitter Application

It’s Fifty aka Uber50. Rapper / business man Curtis Jackson has teamed up with UberSocial (Twitter application makers of UberSocial, Tweetdeck, Echofon, Twidroyd, and others) to make a 50 Cent themed Uber50 Twitter application. The application is pretty much UberSocial (BlackBerry users will be familiar with this one) but with 50 Cent themed skins and other G-Unit type branding. Read what 50 had to say below or check out their new website.
Twitter has become an important way for me to communicate with my fans and for my fans to communicate with each other. We’re all big users of UberSocial on the BlackBerry and already use many of their current themes to customize the look of the app, so it was natural for me to work with UberMedia to develop a special theme.

Tomorrow, April 16th, is official Foursquare Day in New York City as Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced yesterday. Mayor Bloomberg made the announcement yesterday as he’s making a push to establish New York City as the Silicon Valley of the East Coast.
For slow folks, the date is the 16th because four squared is 16 (and April is the fourth month).
“There is no better place than New York City to start a business,” says the Mayor’s Office. “We are the most exciting and most dynamic place on the planet, an international capital of the arts, fashion, and finance…With Foursquare leading the way, we look forward to this generation’s innovators and entrepreneurs making their mark on our City in the years to come.”
