Circlers, ready for your Xmas gift? CircleMe Personal Cards for you.

/ CircleMe Team / Leave a comment

It’s almost time for the Xmas present, and you know, we’ll never let you down on that!

We already started Christmas treats earlier this month with FREE MUSIC to our best circlers, but we continue to master our creativity to give you, year by year, the most original gift we can think of. Most importantly, we want this treat to be about you.

You have been sharing you passions, reading our content and supporting us with your enthusiasm so we are excited to share with you what we have in mind!

In our ideal world, we all should be what we like and focus our life on what makes us feel good. And yes once you know what makes you feel good you should never forget it and also you should share it with the people you love. So… let’s get to the point. We want to give you the opportunity to introduce yourself through what you like, for the interests you have in your life and let people know that and remember that easily. (It also comes quite handy when someone wants to make you a gift!)

This is why, thanks to a collaboration with the great MOO.COM gang, we came up with the CircleMe Personal Cards. These ‘personal cards’ give you the possibility to introduce yourself to others based on what you like in life, and they look like this:

CircleMe Personal Cards both sides

You can decide what picture to use, write a description of yourself, your contact details and then select at least 13 up to 30 of the CircleMe Likes you want to be shown on the flip side. The process to get your cards is very easy, it takes just 5 minutes and then you will receive the set of your unique 50 CircleMe Personal Cards for free (except for the shipping fees, which vary depending on where you’d like to receive them).

So let’s say they never get your present right. Well, give your CircleMe Personal Card to your friends and hopefully next time they will stay tuned with what you are really interested in 😉 .

START THE CREATION PROCESS AND GET THE CARDS DELIVERED ASAP!

Delicacies for Cosmin and Simian

/ CircleMe / Leave a comment

cosmin_simian
The collaborations in electronic music continue as Cosmin TRG and Simian Mobile Disco have become the latest to work together on a project.

The partnership will see Cosmin and the London-based electronic music duo Simian working on a pair of tracks that will be released on the Delicacies label owned by Simian sometime next month. This will be the second collaboration of the year on the Delicacies label as Simian also teamed up early in 2013 on a track with Bicep. That was on the Sacrifice 12-inch disc.

This latest two-track EP will also follow a culinary theme with the tracks being named “Surstromming” which is a Swedish plate while the second is “Sannakji” which is a Korean dish.

Surstromming is apparently a putrid smelling dish and the Korean delight is a dish of octopus tentacles which is served while the beast is still in full movement.

The pair is set to do a gig together at the Delicatessen nightclub in London on Saturday, December 7.

Cosmin TRG has been invited as a guest of Simian Mobile Disco on the night at the XOYO. Simian has worked in the past with such acts as Florence and the Machine, Peaches, and Arctic Monkeys.

Free music to our best Circlers!

/ CircleMe Team / Leave a comment

From today, thanks to a partnership with Kiver, we are treating you to some free music. Yeap, you got it right: free music for our loyal CircleMe users (tell your friends)!

We are giving away thousands of free MP3’s which have been made available on CircleMe to users who either have a good Reach Score (i.e., 30), who help spread the word of CircleMe by having their friends sign-up, or who like exactly the music for which we have the MP3 to download. In these cases, the Circler will see a nice vinyl icon on the right side of the screen (above the feedback button), and that will signal that there is some free music waiting for him/her to be downloaded.

Of course, to make many Circlers happy, we need to limit the download to 3 songs each, but hopefully this nice little treat will still make you smile. 😉

We do it to keep up with our promise to serve you always more and better content and services related to your Likes, and also to thank you for being one of our most loyal and active user.

All the details of the program are here: http://circleme.com/kiver

We truly hope you like this initiative from us, or as we say… that this sounds like ‘music to your Likes’. 😉 And if you like this gift, please help us spread the word: we want the world to know!

Launching CircleMe Curated Items

/ CircleMe Team / Leave a comment

To all passionate CircleMe users, and to the ones who are starting to become curious about our platform, today we are launching something we are very proud of: Curated Items.

What are curated items? Well, they are simply pages (i.e., specific interests on CircleMe) that any one of you, our Circlers, can decide to curate as an official “curator” of CircleMe. We want to give the chance to any of our users to become the ambassador of a specific interest just because we know that many of you are super-passionate about certain topics. Perhaps you already have a blog about a specific topic, or in life you are just known as the “guru” of a particular field: now, you can share your knowledge and passion also with the entire community of CircleMe.

Becoming a curator is easy and open to anyone: just visit the Curated Items page (http://circleme.com/curated_items) where you can learn the details about the program and where you can then apply for the role of curator for the item (or items – up to 5 per user) that you’d like to manage. If you are selected (and we will do our best to have everyone interested curate at least 1 item), you will be able to curate this items for a minimum period of 3 months, posting relevant and interesting stories and media on its page, and showing the rest of the CircleMe community what you find to be the best content to associate to a specific topic.

We have already several curators signed up, and you will start seeing these “curators” and “curated items” labels across the site. We hope the curators community will grow fast, and we look forward to having our curators interact with each other and represent CircleMe to the rest of the world.

We hope this initiative will allow many of you to “live your passions” even more than you do today, and by doing so, helping all our community of users enjoy more CircleMe and the relevant and interesting content it wants to broadcast to the world.

Ready to become ambassador of your passion? Get started by visiting the Curated Items page now!

A new friendly face at CircleMe

/ CircleMe Team / Leave a comment

As CircleMe continues to grow its vast network of interests, the need to bring awesome content to our users based on their likes becomes paramount. For this important task, we are super excited to introduce to the world and to our Circlers a new friendly face who in the last weeks has been hanging out  the office: Jelly! Jelly joins our team as a Content Manager, making sure you get the most relevant, coolest, up-to-date and unique content on all the passions you expressed on the platform.

But enough said from this ‘voice-over’: best to hear directly from Jelly as she tells us a bit about herself and why she seems to be enjoying her time in this little crazy world of CircleMe:

Content manager at CircleMe

“I am really excited to be part of the CircleMe team. Firstly, because the team is quite fun and motivated. Then, because I really enjoy my job, and while doing my daily tasks I even get the chance to discover numerous interesting things. As a matter of fact, being a content manager also means being updated on everything that is potentially of interest to the community and this is quite cool since at the same time my cultural awareness keeps on expanding.

If you take a look at my profile you’ll see that the highest level on my Reach Score is for the category ‘Food & Drinks’, and that’s simply because I love eating. Chocolate and sweets are among my top food. But I also love listening to music and watching movies. I listen to all kinds of music, from rap to rock. Here are some of my favourite singers: Queen, Pink, Macklemore… Same goes for the movies, and in my favourite movie list you’ll find Pulp Fiction, The Green Mile and Life is Beautiful. What I love about CircleMe is that it is not focused on the ‘user’ but on the specific ‘passion’. It’s great to share all my passions with other people I might not know but who do have my same tastes!

I hope CircleMe gets known by more people because it is quite a unique way to tap into your network of interests.”

Feel free to contact Jelly just to say hello or to suggest some great content she should take a look at: she is always on the look out for the new interesting story which just hit the wires or that very original content to share with all passionate Circlers.

henry_cavill
Some of the hottest young actors of 2013 so far have one thing in common – they are all British. According to UK Glamour, Andrew Garfield, Alex Pettyfer, Eddie Redmayne , Henry Cavill, Jack O’Connell, Jamie Bell, Jim Sturgess, Nicholas Hoult, Tom Hardy, Jamie Bower Campbell, Tom Sturridge, Tom Hiddleston, Max Irons, and Douglas Booth have rocked the television and film world so far this year.

Some of these actors have made the big time in the United Kingdom and America. Garfield, who was born in Los Angeles to British parents, was nominated for his role in the 2010 movie “The Social Network” and later won the title role in the 2012 movie “The Amazing Spiderman”.

Cavill has also played a super hero as this year’s Superman in “Man of Steel” after heating up TV screens as a Tudor in “Game of Thrones”. He will wear his cape again in the upcoming film “Justice League”.

Hoult hit screens as a young man alongside Hugh Grant in the film “About a Boy” before starring alongside Academy Award-winner Colin Firth in “A Single Man”.

Jamie Bell was introduced to and won the heart of a generation in the dance flick “Billy Elliot”. Now 27, Bell and his American wife, Evan Rachel Wood, welcomed their first child this year.
