Passing clouds of inconsequential observations
The good people at Spotify have announced an app for the iPhone.
Just what Apple plans to do about the imminent launch of Spotify in the US remains to been seen. Some are suggesting that iTunes will become a streaming service too but it has yet to be shown that anyone can make money out of such a system.

Perhaps once they finish that Spotify will start to iron out some of the glitches in their catalogue listings….
Only one of these tracks is listed correctly. There are no prizes for spotting it or identifying all the tracks 😉 But…. [W:Ravens], [W:Crows]…. Near enough 🙁
I would have reported the errors but Spotify have moved to a Get Satisfaction forum. Why would anyone think this was a good idea?
I was distracted from the message when I noticed that the press contacts named on Apple‘s WWDC Keynote press release are [W:Teresa Brewer] and [W:Bill Evans]…. Which was almost as entertaining as their new ads…
Long before the Interweb had been thought of [W:Marshall McLuhan] had come up with the idea of the global village which followed on from [W:Network theory] which had explored social networks and developed the idea of [W:Six degrees of separation].
Now we have Playing For Change which records a musician singing a song and takes it around the world so others can contribute to the piece.
