SoundCloud launches site for new tools in development
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 5 May 2011
SoundCloud yesterday launched a new site called SoundCloud Labs which is “dedicated to experimental projects and features built on its API and developed by employees of the company”. So that’s fun. Users of the audio distribution platform will be able to access and use neat little proto-apps being developing on the Labs site should they wish to.
The firm’s CTO Eric Wahlforss told CMU: “At SoundCloud we believe the web is too quiet, so devising new ideas to fill it with sound is what keeps our developer team awake at night. SoundCloud Labs allows these innovations to come to life, but can remain relatively easy to manage as they stay in their experimental form. While creating new opportunities for our users, we’re also able to showcase the potential of our API and continue to encourage third-party developers to build their own apps on our platform”.
