Brilliant

What can you do when the cursor is blinking on the blank page and you have nothing to say?

Writer’s block, creative blanks, brain freezes.  They happens sometimes and the creative vibe just halts.  It is annoying and can last seconds or days, delaying productivity, flow and passion production.  I bet this will help.  Getty Images has just launched Moodstream, and the most articulate thing I can come up with right now is very very cool. Even if you don’t have need inspiration, this little buddy will surely make the day brighter, mellower, warmer, more aggressive than it was before.  The idea seems to be passed loosely on Pandora, but combines the idea of the music genome and musical grouping with an individual’s preferences and mood.  But wait, there’s more!  Along with the music comes a streaming line of imagery from Getty’s immense video and still image catalogue.  You tell Moodstream how you are feeling (or even how you would want to be feeling I suppose) and it chooses a soundtrack and image reel to stimulate your senses.  The stream can be as interactive and constantly shifting as you wish…or it can just roll.  I have been an avid supporter of Pandora for a few years, but this seems better for the everyday – times when I don’t necessarily need to know what is playing, I just want a specific type of sound.  For a creative type like me, this tool seems so obvious.  I look forward to enjoying many future streams.
