One thing that I appreciate about Google Music is that you use the same Google Account that you use for <strong>everything</strong> Google. So I would never consider sharing access to Google Music with anyone. What I would like Google to do is more along the lines of their own "<a href="http://www.dataliberation.org/" rel="nofollow">Data Liberation Front</a>" so that people would be able to export their own data from Google. I don't really see a need for quick access to download songs, rather a way to retain ownership of the files that I provided, so that I could move my data around Good point about Intellectual Property.

An option to download would infringe IP in many jurisdictions. Using a digital locker in the cloud imply making copies of the music. "Private copy exceptions" in most jurisdictions do not allow help from third parties to make the copies. Google could be considered as a third party if you were able to download. Streaming is normally not considered as IP copying, just as making IP available. It's ok to make music available, but not to the public. Hence, you have to log in, and the streaming is restricted to 8 devices. That's probably considered as privte use in most jurisdictions. This is NOT about beta, but IP.

My Facebook friends complained continually about my twitter crossovers. Finally I broke the link. It's seductive to try and save keystrokes by having the 2 environments talk... but that's just a siren... Not something to do.

]]> Comment on Note to LinkedIn: Stop trying to be like Facebook by Dina http://www.howardyermish.com/2009/03/02/linkedin-facebook/comment-page-1/#comment-864 Dina Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:30:36 +0000 http://pianoinsidemybrain.com/?p=604#comment-864 Agreed that the Q & A are one of the best parts of LinkedIn. I've definitely spent alot of time in that area of the website and that's something I'll never get from Facebook. I find the 'people you may know' feature to be pretty useless, the logic doesn't seem to be consistent and it's pretty buggy. Doesn't seem to distinguish the value between people that I share one contact with or 20. But, maybe I haven't looked at it closely enough. Once LinkedIn starts letting people post pictures, I'm out ;) Agreed that the Q & A are one of the best parts of LinkedIn.
