Technorati link added
I’ve added a technorati link to this weblog’s sidebar to make it easy to see who is linking here. I’ll be checking it regularly so if you want to comment via your weblog I’ll see it.

Chris Rockwell and I reviewed a dev version of our podplay feeds today and had a great discussion about the right structure for the data. A key insight, one that took me a while to get, is that the podplays themselves are the fundamental items of interest: “C.C. Chapman’s U-Turn Cafe played Josephine by Darren Geffre on Show #7″. We’ll be using that as an organizing principle for our RSS, coming soon.
Yesterday I read up on various namespace extensions and came up with little. XSPF was closest but it was designed for a different use case (listening as opposed to reporting). MusicBrainz tags are intriguing and I think ultimately there will be a place for them, but not yet.
I’m continuing to dig, checking out these directories of RSS namespaces, found with this Google search. Also suggested: MusicBrainz metadata, XSPF (thanks, Lucas!).
The PMN WordPress plugin is underway, though I spent a good chunk of yesterday on other stuff, e.g. interviewing and hacking on the PDN. We’re still looking for feedback on namespaces for reporting podplay. The plugin will be based on whatever we go with, so please do drop a line if you know of any relevant tech. Peace.
