"First of all we are initially rolling this out in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany and Spain"

even though Pandora may be geotarded and I can't use the service I don't
blame them for the situation since I was a user from day one they announced
the service. I just wish this - like other important matters (unlike whether
Twitter is federated or not or some such stupid things) was getting more of
a push across all the different blogospheres since this kind of activities
by people like RIAA and SoundExchange are just the tip of the iceburg of a
political system listening to big bucks instead of the people who elected
them.

if you had read what I finished up with you would have seen that I
acknowledged that Last.FM is available *VIA* the browser worldwide - *
HOWEVER* it is not the same case for last.fm on ht iPhone. In that case it
is geotarded . which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

No biggie..you'll find something. And like someone said, it may have been Billy or Eric or.....

Don't let a bunch of whiners (us) stop you from doing what's right. Nobody wants you to tear your hair out dealing with the forums.

Re: No Offence Thomas Hawk But You’re Coming Late To The Party

StevenHodson — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:20:46 -0000

Carlos,

thank you very much for jumping in here as I think you input is extremely valuable. I will say that I didn't realize that Thomas Hawk had been involved with your situation as much has he has been and for that I commend him. I just wanted to say at this point much like I did in the FriendFeed thread on this post that I wasn't trying to be negative towards Thomas but rather I wanted a headline that accomplished two objectives

1. get people attention to a very serious issue and yes using Thomas' in such a fashion might make it seem sensationalistic but I won't apologies for doing so - because I believe this is that important
2. it was a slight inditement against the tech blogosphere that it takes using the name of one of their own favourite people in a headline to get their attention - considering I have written about this issue and your site before on thsi blog but it basically went nowhere.

I will say this issue and other social issues like this are something that is very important to me and an area I believe that I will increaasingly be writing about - someone has to shake up these tech heads :)

Keep up the good fight Carlos and I for one will be doing what I can do to help keep this issue in the forefront.

A blog post is a static thing. A podcast is a flowing conversation that can't be pre-edited and checked for clarity. That I am half-decent at one and godawful at the other (by my own admission) is precisely why i haven't tried to get into radio.

Thanks for updating. I think your blog, like the others, is an important piece in the fight for photographers rights. Keep up the good work.

If you have a problem evaluating the quality or substance of a message where the majority of other commenters on the post don't seem to have then thre really isn't much that I can - or probably will ever be able to - do to change that. As for the income I recieve it is primarily for my writing on Mashable which go through an editor process as far as I know so if there was a problem with message clarity I would think that would have been raised between myself and whoever is the editor at that point in time for items being posted.

I don't get paid to be on padcasts either but isn't a message still a message regardless of the medium being used. A message being delivered in a blog post is no different whatsoever to one being delivered via a podcast. If you suggest that I am unable to provide a clear message via a blog post how is that any different from you trying to deliver your message via a podcast. Just as sentence structure might be ambiguous so can somebody on a podcast when you literally cannot follow the verbal trans of thought from one end to another.

As for it being an attack - sorry just stating a fact as far as I see it.

I had not known of Mr. Hawk's involvement with this issue via his blog as I
don't follow it. I have corrected that oversight and will be spending some
time there going over his old posts. I did however note on a FriendFeed
thread that Mr. Hawk was a supporter of Carlos Miller.

I agree with your assessment and I know if only for myself I plan on looking at and writing about technology and our society from more of a whole view rather the current idea of talking about tech for tech sake.
