It's been a busy week. Lots of news and exciting things:
Friendfeed - nice new web service by some ex-Googlers that aggregates all those social update sites into one handy feed. Like Facebook-to-go. It just launched on Monday, and so they're in full-on big fixing, feature upgrading mode and if their very active Google Group is anything to go by then their user focus will win out. I think this will be big.
New music - had some head-down excel-monkey analysis to do at work this week for which I always prefer to listen to pandora. I think their algorithm continues to improve and they are massively outpacing last.fm for me right now. Anyway, it came up trumps and I am now the happy owner of albums by b fleischmann, Laika and Alec Empire. All from emusic and all very enjoyable. Also picked up the new Jose Gonzales and found myself coming round to the new Editors (it's still not as good as The Back Room, but I think it's a grower)
Looking forward to this film about Ian Curtis too. Editors have reignited my love affair with Joy Division, so this feels like perfect timing.
