    • Spotify started to reduce access to its catalogue – one day i was listening to Kitsune records, the following nothing is listed anymore. Not a single track – it feels like the entire company had disappeared over night – never existed. Sounds like a bad move…

      quote: The reason for this is that our agreements contain strict rules as to what tracks can and can’t be played in various countries that we are now capable of implementing. These restrictions are a legacy from when most music was sold on tapes and CDs and they have continued over into streaming music, our hope is that one day restrictions like this will disappear for good.

    • a set of bookmarklet that lets you use StumbleUpon services without the toolbar – being an intensive user of Camino (firefox but mac look and feel) i abandonned SU slowly even though i really appreciated the application and its principles. Those bookmarklets seems to be ideal and they will (probably) let me come back to SU

    ** downtime are really the worst thing that can happen to you once you start migrating ‘in the clouds’ – downtime: either on your own server, services you relly upon, your own connection – what can be down to preserve the connection to essential data? i liked the idea of the .tel domains (i spoke about this some weeks ago in Emergency and Electronic Presence).

    *** On a quite different note but with the same attention, etoy’s Mission Eternity explores territories of data accessibility beyond death.
