 <title>Tech Watch: Music on Facebook; Bill Gates&#039;s Rumored Think Tank; Amazon&#039;s Q3 Earnings Bad, But Good</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/news/2008/10/23-facebook-music-bill-gates-amazon.html</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Is Music Facebook&#039;s Savior?&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If it&#039;s one thing that &lt;span style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dotted green&quot;&gt;MySpace&lt;/span&gt; has over Facebook, it&#039;s music. MySpace Music has no real successful equivalent on Facebook, and the latter company&#039;s path to profitability looks unlikely without some kind of tunes application as a part of the strategy. If Facebook ever hopes to go public, it may have to sidle up to one of its developers and ink a music deal.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Here are 21 things your business should consider before starting a social network:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Internal (Your Business Capabilities)&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>How and why would I change OpenID.</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/mariusz-andryszewski/allmedia-technology-society-and-everything-surrounds-either-one/how-and-wh</link>
 <description>Identity Management has been a pretty hot topic for a while now. As some digital providers getting more traction and recognition from large companies such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo - I looked at OpenID ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://openid.net/&quot; title=&quot;http://openid.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://openid.net/&lt;/a&gt; ) to see how it works. In short OpenID eliminates the need to enter your information when trying to register with websites, providing a single URL with all the info as an alternative. The URL can come from providers such as Yahoo or Google, but it can also come from your own website.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/mariusz-andryszewski/allmedia-technology-society-and-everything-surrounds-either-one/how-and-wh&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Allmedia - on technology, society and everything that surrounds either one.</title>

 <title>Bio and Interests:  </title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-bio-and-interests/profile-bio-and-interests-purplehayz-earthlink-net</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I&#039;ve been in the computer industry for 25 years.  I&#039;ve worked in various industries including defense contracts, scientific research, software products, banking and trading, and now social networking.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I currently manage a 9 person software development and quality assurance team for Classmates.com.  Previously I set up and managed the enterprise architecture function for LaSalle Bank, part of ABN AMRO Bank, a large multinational bank based in The Netherlands.

 <title>You Are Here</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/profile-blog/you-are-here</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
This title occurred to me when I think of a visual representation of what I want this blog to be about.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
You Are Here is a blog to discuss where we are in relevance to the world around us and talking about points of interest, where we want to go and how to get there.  But unlike the &amp;quot;You Are Here&amp;quot; map at the mall, this is interactive...so please feel free to contribute.
