So what's this soundbadge stuff all about?
The idea of sound badges was inspired by Jan's casual beatboxing. He's been doing it for years now, but only a few weeks ago it occurred to Wolfgang that Jan's beats were in a way representative of him as are very few things. His beats are his acoustical signature much as his Avatars are his visual one, or as the badges our Indie friends choose so diligently are theirs fashionwise.
So the idea was born to let people create and share their acoustical avatars, their personal beats, their: sound badges.
What happened next was the Rails Rumble. What better space to create our platform for sound badges? So we researched which tools to use, assembled the team, discussed our ideas and made a plan. Then we sat down 48 hours, designed and coded the whole thing from scratch, and voilà: Here it is.
