Soundcloud, which reports that it is currently adding 20,000 registered users per day, has innovated a lot during the past year after launching in 2008. It released both iPhone and Android applications, as well as a Mac App, and added the ability to record directly from all of its platforms. Its API has also been integrated across an array of social tools, including popular blogging platform Tumblr.
Tech-savvy actor Ashton Kutcher has also joined the site, and invested in the company via his fund, A-Grade.
An increasing number of artists (as well as journalists and other sound creators) are turning to Soundcloud in order to share music and get feedback. Although the site is still largely a backend-centric tool, we'll be interested to see how it continues to evolve as more users join. Might we suggest a more organized, consumer-facing side for the fans of those 5 million creators?
