Google to Include iTunes?

LINK TO SUBMITTER's BLOG alert

[Space cowboy]

I noticed this on Friday, when the stock jumped by 5% :-) A couple of links that *don't* go to the submitters blog...

• The link on the submitter's blog
  
• The stock effect
  

For some reason, it *really* annoys me when people link to their own blog instead of the link to the story. At the very least it ought to be obvious that it's a personal link rather than doing it on the sly.

Sorry. I think you are not paying attention to what's going on here.

1) The submitter of the story included a link to an article on TheStreet.com.

2) The story was truncated by a malformed HTML.

3) The only link visible on the truncated story was the attribution link for the submitter.

4) The submitter's link on his ID, like many of us, points to a homepage or blog.

5) The grandparent of this post chastised the submitter (mistakenly, IMO) for astroturfing or whatever, based on the attribution link, without seeing the submitted story, which contained a link to thestreet.com.

6) The submitters blog, displays the most recent post to the blog, which happened to be the same post he was trying to make to Slashdot.

7) Please pay attention next time.

Wall Street suggests in a recent Article that Apple is about to announce a deal with Google, to offer Apple's iTunes Music service through its site.

That's MAJOR news indeed.

If it turns out to be right, it would be a great deal for both sides, as Apple will gain a wider audience for its music service iTunes through the enormous base of Google visitors, and Google too will at last have a music service to offer, like Yahoo did a while ago.
No need for Google to start its own Music Service, they'll have the best Music Service by their side, what could be better than that.

This is very exciting cooperation between two of the biggest and most influential companies in the Tech World, and it has never crossed my mind, until now.

Let's wait and see.
