Today I try to visit some Venture Capital website, I hope I will found some of innovative online services that free of cost and very useful for us .

When I visit TrueVentures.com I found one that interesting, it is Bandcamp.mu – It is a publishing platform for musicians/band that let you have your own website that easy to manage, it comes with statistic report too. Simply I call it Free Band Websites services.

So .. If you have a band or you are a musician – and for sure I think you need a professional look website to promote your music, song and your album .

Bandcamp accept all of musics, it could be rock, pop, jazz, punk, ska, reggae or accoustic.

The best features of Bandcamp is your visitor can shared your music easily via social network such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and your visitor also can shared it via blog – WordPress, Blogger or Live journal. Bandcamp will generate a code that could be embedded everywhere.

But I think Bandcamp really lack of categorization and search, so it is little difficult to us to find specific music. I hope Bandcamp read this , so they will improve it.

Today I browse at one of famous magazine Layers TV – a magazine for designer that specialized on Adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver, After Effects, Lightroom, Premiere, Soundbooth and Acrobat. It consist of product reviews, tips, tricks and tutorial from the gurus, they give video tutorial too that included on their magazine pack.

As always I try to find good freebies , and as usual every magazine has a free section area or tutorial area as their tricks to make their visitor interested to buy their magazine. Layers TV published high quality Adobe tutorial since 2005, there is lots of useful tips about how to using Adobe products. Not just simple tips such as keyboard shortcut, but they publish advance tutorial too.

You will be guided by gurus such as : Scott Kelby, Corey Baker, Dave Cross and many more …

Latest Layers TV Photoshop tutorial is “Exposure Blending in Photoshop”, a really useful tips I think, I don’t know this tips before.

Another my favourite tutorial from Layers TV :
