Can Coke
What’s more refreshing, the first beer at the end of the week, or cracking open an ice cool can of Cola. You know how it tastes, but how does it sound?
Take a listen to this weeks Found Sounds to hear the sounds of refreshment. From the crack of a Coke can, the glug of beer or are you a little more sophisticated with a Whiskey on the rock.
A Message from Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
Wow.
Listen to this powerful and moving audio message by House Representative from Arizona, Mrs. Gabrielle Giffords, who earlier this year was a victim of a horrible shooting near Tuscon.
It truly is inspiring to be able to listen to Mrs. Giffords speak today considering what she’s been through.

Inside Soundcloud
If you take a stroll from Hackescher Markt to Rosenthaler Platz, please note that you’re passing a world class company. The Soundcloud office lies just across the basketball field where their employees enjoy a game or two during summer.
Last friday the world renowned audio platform with the slogan “Everyone has sounds to share. Now you can share yours.” opened its doors to the Friday’s at Six radioshow, F@6, a weekly radio show about startups in Berlin. Broadcasting live from the Soundcloud conference room four senior employees talked about the product, strategy and company culture.
Unfortunately CEO Alex Ljung and CTO Eric Wahlforss could not join us as they had other engagements. Eric visited a webconference in Rumenia and Alex took the stage at Monaco Media Forum just after Prince Albert.
At the show Marketing Director Thom Cummings said that Soundcloud has reached an impressive 8 million users. With the launch of the HTML5-player, Android App and Ipad App it took Soundcloud only 43 days to add one million new users. Talking about Hockey Stick Growth!
Head of Community Management David Noël who now leads a team of seven people explained what drives him to make the user experience better. Really interesting stuff for all community managers out there!
Audio Content Manager Ben Fawkes told us about his travels around the world where he raises awareness of Soundcloud’s pivot from a music-centric plattform to a general audio platform.
Also at the show was Soundcloud newbie Marcus Schaefer (screen designer). After his first two weeks with the company he says that leaving New York for Berlin was the right thing to do.
So please enjoy the full broadcast with handpicked music (“Soundclouds of the day”) from the Soundcloud community team. Remember that audio gives you the opportunity to listen while you get things done.
You will problably never come closer to what really happens inside the Soundcloud Berlin office.
