Cisco And mtvU Make Use Of Apps Developed By Students: After a year, mtvU and Cisco are set to launch a series of web applications stemming from their joint Digital Incubator funding project.

Some of the new interactive projects that have been activated include: RapHappy.com, an NYU project aimed at aspiring rappers, the online and mobile-phone-based hip-hop community site lets members record, collaborate, search and listen to freestyle or written raps, without any need for software or file uploading; Launchosiris.com, an MP3 visualizer using song lyrics to generate music videos with images taken from Flickr and a user’s own hard disk; Selectricity.org, an online ranking community from MIT; and HowDoISayThis.com, an advice wiki from UCLA.
