[…] However, the story I wrote in the last entry and linked to regarding the iTunes 5.0 Windows upgrade problems still hasn’t show after 30 minutes of linking and trackbacking in, so I’m not sure how long it takes for the tech meme algorithm to grab trackbacks or linking-in permalinks. It might use other ping sources like Technorati or aggregators like Feedster or IceRocket, rather than visiting the blogs directly. That will leave sources out of sync as evidenced by this test. Then again, nobody has linked to my story, so maybe that’s what triggers the tech.memeorandum page, which would leave it less open to trackback spammers (a good thing, of course). I see new stories/blog entries on the main tech meme page as recent as “10 minutes ago” but the tech meme official blog notes “added in real time” and page updates every five minutes. […]

Thanks Warner. I just noticed at 2pm ET, a couple hours after making this post, memeorandum finally included the link from my blog in the discussion breakdown. This was after your trackback, so maybe it takes multiple links for a source to show up? Either that or the tech meme bot is only programmed to hit this blog once every couple hours. A lower priority bot, if you will, depending on update source. Fascinating if that’s the case. I’ve also noticed that Scoble’s “Announcing Memorandum…” post has been the top headline for several hours now. Maybe this is why Scoble likes it so much, because it will show him in big text for hours?

Seriously, I would expect some PDC 2005 posts to be hitting the tech meme by now … but not much there yet.

Problems With New iTunes

I linked to Michael Hyatt’s post about this the other day. Apparently this is turning into a big deal. The new version of iTunes seems like it was let into the wild a bit too soon and will cause some

I’ve bought more songs than I ever thought I would using iTunes, so I’m in the over 60 camp. On another note, I’ll put a trackback to this entry of yours on my blog and we’ll see if that has any effect on memeorandum.

I’m a Napster to go subscriber and am very happy with it (except for no Madonna or Eagles or Led Zeppelin), but then I alreadu OWN all of Madonna on CD and recently completed my Eagles collection. Just a fe more for Led Zep…

I went ahead and installed iTunes 5.0, just haven’t run it yet… I never really liked iTunes, too idiot proof. I WANT to customize my settings and don’t want a stupid program thinking it knows what I want…
