The creators of the super-cool iRig mic are featuring LaDiDa this week! We love the iRig mic as it makes all our apps more awesome

We had a chance to demo both LaDiDa and Songify at D: Dive Into Media earlier this week. It was a great follow-up to Neil Young’s appeal to take music back to what he considers to be “100% quality”. And of course Parag stole the show with his bad singing. But the best part by far was getting Peter Kafka to sing on stage

Khush CEO Prerna Gupta wrote a fun piece on technology and education for TechCrunch, which discusses how entertainment apps, including Songify, are being adopted as teaching tools in elementary schools around the country:

Great review of Talkapella in Evolver.fm today!

Blogger Andy Cush (is that pronounced Khush? ) used the app to create an awesome jingle for the site! The post includes a mention of the awesome Glee Karaoke app as well. Go Smush!

David Pogue did a fantastic piece on our friends the Gregory Brothers this weekend, including a fun little demo of Songify!

A funny post by Roy Furchgott on Singing Santa and other holiday apps featuring Mr. Clause: http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/21/apps-to-put-words-in-santas-mouth/

Singing Santa went live in the app store yesterday with great momentum. It’s currently a Top 25 Free App, and the #1 Free Music App.

We are very excited to announce today that we are merging with our brother from another mother – Smule!

Why? Because none can deny the fact that Smule + Khush = Smush

And so you see, it was clearly meant to be. Double company all the way across the sky! Watch out world. Here we come.

Developer friends! We wanted to recommend this great XMLParser library, which we love: http://www.applied-mathematics.net/tools/xmlParser.html

Happy coding!
