Morning Coffee Notes

Ok, I’m on my second cup already because I got distracted. After noticing Scoble’s link to Joel on Software, I decided to read Joel’s most recent email article, on Building Communities with Software. It got me thinking about how the forum on this site works. I may make some changes around here but I’m not sure yet.

It looks like Apple may be announcing shortly a new music service for Mac/iPod owners, using label-approved music and non-mp3 format. Argh.

Apple had so much going for it - the whole digital hub thing, iTunes, iPod. Do they know it was MP3 support that made iTunes so frikkin popular? I wonder if they will continue to support MP3? I guess we‘ll see what happens.
