Last.fm Plus YouTube—Like MTV but with Music You Like [MUSIC VIDEOS]
via Lifehacker by Adam Pash on May 05, 2008
Web site Last.fm + YouTube is a mashup that pulls music videos from YouTube based on artists and music in your Last.fm profile. To use it, just hand over your Last.fm username or the name of an artist you like and it starts streaming YouTube music videos. I've been tuned into my Last.fm + YouTube channel most of the morning, and so far it's been good listening and watching. If you give...

What Google Looks For in Potential Acquisitions
via ReadWriteWeb by Richard MacManus on May 29, 2008
Today I attended the XMediaLab event in Wellington New Zealand (my hometown). Tom Duterme, who is in the New Business Development group at Google in Mountain View, was here talking about innovation. Tom's job is to travel around the world looking for acquisitions for Google, so it was interesting to hear what things he looks for in startups.Imagination is key, he advised -- see the Einstein...

via Boing Boing by (author unknown) on June 17, 2008
Shared by Stefan Hayden I love when companies think they can just invent their own laws. To bad AP... you'll have to buy your laws in congress just like everyone else.In the name of "defin[ing] clear standards as to how much of its articles and broadcasts bloggers and Web sites can excerpt" the Associated Press is now selling "quotation licenses" that allow bloggers, journallers, and people...

Today, CBS-owned Last.fm announced that you can now stream the full track of any song up to three times for free, in addition to its regular music-discovery service which streams related songs you might like in a random order. This is also the first step towards a future subscription service, which will allow...

Iminta: Another Way to Lifestream What You’re Into
via Mashable! by Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins on February 25, 2008
Iminta is what I’m in to. Get it? Aside from a clever name, this garage-based startup has a lot of things going for it. The first most noticeable thing is it’s very slickly designed, with a very Ajaxian style interface (just about everything on the site slides around or has some sort of animated quality to it). Those that are familiar with the functionality of FriendFeed will notice, aside...
