Links for 10.8.07: Mobile music, Biggie, Jimi’s juice, Brid-mart +
*Writes the Wall Street Journal on mobile music: “A hopeful sign: The carriers seem to understand that cellphones are no threat to displace the PC as the hub of the digital-music experience.” There are so many things wrong with that sentence, I don’t know where to start. OK: carriers.
*Scenes from the Biggie Smalls casting call.
*Snocap and CD Baby, who dissolved their business partnership last week, bring the hate.
*MSNBC buys social news site Newsvine. MSNBC.com Exec Producer Rex Sorgatz (Mpls locals may know him as a sort of Sid Hartman 2.0) comments on the purchase via Fimoculous. [NY Times]
*PaidContent glosses a recent Wharton research paper that looks at online recommendation services. The original doc is here. And it is academic.
*Peefork on Cease to Begin, Band of Horses’ latest: 7.7 – Wal-martastic! (Here’s Stylus on them, as well.)
*The Jimi Hendrix Liquid Experience – an energy drink. Take that, Pimp Juice. [Daily Swarm]
When people say “is that a compliment or a diss?” they actually usually know which it is. However, being called “Sid Hartman 2.0″…. this is completely mystifying.
If this helps at all to explain it, I have come to appreciate Sid Hartman much more with age.
Mine, not his.
(Especially prose from the Gangelhoff years.)
