At the bottom of the sidebar on this blog you'll see the 'My iTunes' gadget errr widget I've added.
Now, some people will think this is insanely great, while a great many will loathe it for everything Apple and the iTMS stands for.
I'm in both camps. I like the fact I can put this on my blog easily. I'm not convinced if advertising my esoteric taste in music is wise, nor am I thrilled at punting a blatent marketing ploy by Apple. Plus, I'm not sure I like the increase in bandwidth the already sluggish Blogger page is lumbered with. But it is cool and adds a bit of pzazz to my dull old page.
I'll leave it on for the meantime and see how we get on.
By the way - is the iTunes Genius thing not a brilliant way of making yet more money out of iTunes? I personally think the technology behind the selection process is great - so great, in fact, that it's suckered me into buying two tracks on a whim so far. You can't fault Apple on this nugget of marketing genius.

Yes, in fact, I can. But then, I've had the experience of interacting w/ Steve Jobs, which permanently coloured my view of Apple.
