Arthur van Hoff is out of
stealth mode and launched
Zing. Here is what
Gizmodo says:
Zing is partnering with Yahoo! and Sirius for their new player. The initial prototype includes 8GB of storage space that can be filled wtih music via a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or direct connection. Zing is trying to eliminate the need for a computer with portable media players by allowing for album downloads to come directly to the player via the Wi-Fi connection. Also the Zing player will have the ability to stream Sirius satellite music from the Wi-Fi connection—what?

Brian Dear
learns why RSS threatens eBay after he had some trouble getting rid of his gigantic sofa. Obviously it takes more, like a heavily trafficked site (he mentions Craiglist, partly owned by eBay) that has the feeds enough users will subscribe to. But he does raise a very good point: who needs the middleman if you can hang an RSS-feed with the stuff you want to sell off your blog, that will be scooped up by a Technorati-like service? Except, of course, that does create a new middleman. [Via

Enjoyed reading the headline
Saving Tivo through Strangeberry on PVR Blog, which summarizes an interview with
Arthur van Hoff in Business 2.0. 'He's an obscure but revered high priest of software coding. And he thinks he's devised a way to pull TiVo back from death's door' sounds to me like the pitch for a science fiction flick. Van Hoff could have a cameo as
huge hungry robot that eats defenseless bloggers.
[Thanks to Dale Dietrich for the tip.]
