So this is a bit of a follow-up to a post I did a while back on tag-based bookmarks in safari which has had some interesting feedback. This article has some of the most interesting ideas that I’ve seen, and I’m definitely going to be thinking around this

Robbie Williams and the Manic Street Preachers – both artists I might add that I cannot stand the sight of any more – are releasing albums that will go #1 in the UK and will be completely invisible to Americans…

Of course you might not find it easy to break into the New York Times’ heavily protected web edifice, but it’s worth the effort to try: “Wait,” Mr. Carlson said querulously. “I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.”

Regarding Musicmobs and Mobster; If you use Mobster to update your stats you don’t have to upload your iTunes XML file. Just locate the XML once when you first use Mobster, then click update stats. It compresses the file so it’s much faster and easier than the manual upload.
