Google goes musical

The web is abuzz with the news that Google is apparently getting ready to launch a new music service. While it’s still unclear how the Google music service will function, there seems to widespread acknowledgement that it will incorporate two popular social music tools Lala and iLike. With the billions of songs being shared, bought and listened to online, it only makes sense that the monolithic Google would enter the very lucrative music market. Google will make an official announcement on Wednesday, but until then, enjoy this screen shot (via Techcrunch) of what a possible Google music search of U2 might look like .

WordPress goes Moblie

Adapting to the rapid growth of mobile browsing, Wordpress.com has launched two new mobile optimized blog themes. The first is a tweaked version of the popular WPtouch theme (currently employed by this blog), geared towards smartphones with full browser support like the iPhone and Android based devices. The second is an updated version of their WordPress mobile edition which will allow for faster page loading and for more information to be displayed on less powerful phones.

Giving readers a chance to read blogs as quickly and easily as possible, wherever they are, is always a good strategy. Great to see Wordpress.com empower publishers to do so more easily.

I’ve been working in or around the social media revolution since 2005 and I am grateful to be exploring this new media landscape with com.motion’s clients. As managing director, my role is to guide our clients through the use of new technologies and to provide innovative ways to engage their stakeholders online.
