Rifflet.com is a social site where users can upload 1-minute songs to other users, for them to download, respond, or incorporate into their own songs.

Gizmodo interviewed this site, and you can hit it all on the site, but here’s a brief question I liked:

Why the 1 minute limit?
Originally I envisioned this site as sort of a “Twitter for rock and roll,” although we’ve since decided that’s not such a great description. [Ed note: oops on the headline!] The thing I love about Twitter is the amount of conciseness it requires. If you’re writing a traditional pop song, for instance, there’s time for an intro, a verse and a chorus in 60 seconds and not much else. Unless you’re NOFX (and trust me, you’re not) you can’t really pack a full song with a ton of ideas into less than a minute.

If you guys haven’t noticed by the way, the banner for Rifflet uses the same font we do here at DCTF (refer to banner at the top).
