Attention lovers of music and language: In the spirit of promoting creativity and innovation, we have launched two new content sites.

Music-lovers, remember the days of record players, 8-tracks, and cassette tapes? Me neither. In today’s Internet-centered universe, we can simply click a mouse and enter a symphonic cyber-world from the comfort of our couches. Whether it is funk, hip-hop, jazz, classical, or rock that you crave, the only thing almost as fun as listening to great music is discussing it. Your taste in music says a lot about you, and now its time to get comfy and share that personal style with the world on our new site, Musicouch.

Calling all literary junkies: It is time to write about what we do best — writing! Introducing a new website, Writinghood, where writers join together to offer their intellectual expertise and insights. Writinghood provides an online source for writers to ponder poetry, incite inspiration, wrangle writer’s block, or attach advice while reading the impressions and suggestions of other writers from around the world. So join the ‘hood, log in to Triond, and start publishing!
