The web site formerly known as....oh, never mind!

Prince recently launched a new web site. Check it out here. As you would expect from a man who once known as a symbol, it's pretty strange.

The site is not fully functioning yet, but in the coming months fans will be able to access exclusive music, lyrics, photos, videos, and more. Of course, none of this will be free -- you'll have to pay for the privilege to surf Prince's site. After all, Prince is the artist who cried copyright infringement and demanded that his fan sites remove all things related to him, which meant all photos, lyrics, videos, etc. Sort of defeats the purpose of a fan site, huh?

Speaking of new sites, it looks like the British Monarchy will soon be launching a new web site. Per BrandRepublic.com., "the Queen has taken a 'hands on' approach to the site's redesign and wants it to be more user-friendly and accessible." Who knew the Queen was so tech savvy? Maybe she'll soon begin blogging about high tea.
