An Old Draft for a Simple yet Effective Fan Site

While digging into my archive i’ve found some old drafts for a fan site idea of *Nil Karaibrahimgil: On a january 2009 day (1 year ago), a quick and pure fan site idea forced me to prepare a draft that day.  These drafts explain the basic functionality, ideas and content of the project rather than showing the design and the final stage of the page skeleton. This project has never ever been worked on it after that day. Today i’m exposing those drafts, so anyone may be inspired by them, since there is still no such project exists right now. If you use any of the ideas on the draft to build a new project for a specific person or for centralized new web2.0 project, please let me know that this post worked at least for one.

The key idea: A simple and pure site, which does not include any trace of social media or any popular services,  that just lets the fans send messages/photos/audios to the person they are fan of and let the artist know of the site and follow it. Generally this happens in the other way.

*Nil Karaibrahimgil, as a Turkish singer and a musician, is well known with her creative works and ideas in music and media industry. You can visit her site at niltakipte.com or follow her from twitter where she frequently send updates.

Talih Kuşu and Radyo are still the number one in app store

I was not controlling the position of my “Talih Kuşu” iPhone application for a long time. Today i saw it’s icon at the first positino of Lifestyle category of app App Store. This encourages me to continue making applications without ruining their quality! Thank you all for your great support and evaluation. It’s great to see that more and more people start to see the engineering quality of the applications.

By the way, Radyo is still the number 1 paid application in the app store!

It’s good to see 2 of my applications are leading to the categories they are in.

In the set of Cicibebe Music Clip for “GIDI GIDI”

Two weeks ago, i was in the set of Cicibebe’s first music clip for the song “GIDI GIDI”.

“Cicibebe” is an extraordinary music group in Turkiye. Their songs generally can not be compared with any other songs. However their songs arei n Turkish, melody would attract anyone from any country.

They are getting their first album ready fully in the following months. We may see their clip soon in well-known tv channels  (:

While i was in the set, i took approximately 800 photos without interrupting the video shoot.

Here i want to share some of them:
