Yes, blogging is a way to put up info that other people might not find interesting, or need. But I hope that some of what I post is interesting, and useful. Like most of my stuff about iTunes, it may be useful for someone writing software that interfaces with iTunes, or for an end user wanting to have more control over rating.

Most of what I read in the local newspaper is boring, and just a waste of time. It seems like the people writing just want their 15 minutes of fame.

But I don’t have to read what they say. At least the majority of the stuff is free - I don’t have to pay to hear a random guy’s thoughts. And occasionally, I find a person who’s thoughts are interesting, and relevant to what I want.

Oh, and you searched for “How accurate is the iTunes Counter?” on Google, and yet you clicked on a post titled “How accurate is History?”

I know that it was Google hit #9 for that query, but perhaps looking at some of the other hits might have helped you.

And I don’t think the iTunes counter is inaccurate. Each time I play a song, the played count increments. As long as you listen to the end of the song. If you skip to the next song before the end, it doesn’t count as a play.

Blogs have polluted the web. Now, every time I search for a topic, most of the links send me to blogs. I want real information, not some blogger’s thoughts on the matter. How boring.
