Hasta La Ideas

Facebook for creatives? Yesterday saw the announcement of Amuen.com, a new social networking website aimed squarely at creatives. Started by graphic artist Steve Johnson, tattooist and inventor Carson Hill (the guy behind the Neuma Hybrid) and design consultancy RKS, Amuen hopes to foster a ” free online community where creative souls can connect to celebrate, showcase, and inspire all kinds of creativity and art.”

Carson and Steve are dedicated to welcoming all kinds of creatives into the site… and they know the right kind of bait. To mark the debut of Amuen, Carson and Steve are challenging members to create the best, most creative profile page. The winner will get a new 13″ aluminum unibody MacBook, complete with a custom skin designed by Carson. And for those who prefer to keep a lower profile (so to speak), there’s a contest for them, too. The member with the most referrals resulting in membership will win a 16GB iPod Touch – also with a custom skin designed by Carson. The contest is open to anyone.
