Today while reading Slashdot I came accross this reference to (or, if you prefer, shameless self promotion of)MusicMobs.org. MusicMobs is a site where you upload your iTunes xml file, which contains your complete library playlist and metadata. Then you can compare it to the playlists of other people.

The site is in beta currently, and there are some obvious features missing, like direct links to the iTunes music store (which I’ve already already suggested to the site admin via email). But it already seems like a good way to find new music to listen to. Actually, there are a whole lot of interesting things you could do with that data. Brilliant idea.

I’m in San Diego this week, courtesy of my employer, to attend the TDWI world conference. I’m blogging my notes from the conference for my workmates back home, but on a private page, so I can freely discuss how what I’m learning specifically applies to my work projects.

I was curious to see if there would be WiFi at the conference site – it seems like all the conferences I’ve read about lately have wireless access – but there isn’t. Not many laptops, either. But this is more of the corporate IT crowd, not many bloggers or hardcore internet people.

Fortunately it seems like there is WiFi everywhere else in this town – at the train station when we got in, on the balcony of our hotel room, and at the cafe where I ate lunch today.

Anyhow, it’s another busy week for me, so posting will be light.
