eBay to announce StumbleUpon buy todayUpdate: So, it’s official, eBay has bought StumbleUpon for $75 million. Here’s the release. eBay, the San Jose, Calif.-based auction giant is likely to announce its acquisition of Stumble Upon after the close to markets today, according to informed sources. The news of a pending deal was first reported back in April 2007. The acquisition price is said to be $75 million. StumbleUpon has raised close to $1.5 million in seed financing The rationale behind the deal will emerge in time. There have been some who have disagreed with my hypothesis on why eBay wanted to buy StumbleUpon, a social book marking discovery service. By marrying the toolbar to Skype client, eBay can do an end run around Google’s dominance of the search business. A simple search box inside Skype client is all it would take. It is not that far fetched: Skype has been slowly integrating various different services (including PayPal) into its client, and slowly becoming eBay’s desktop backdoor. Our readers and others around the web furiously debated this theory, and offered alternative views. TechCrunch is reporting on the pending announcement as well. |

Palo Alto, Calif. – April 5, 2007 —
Azureus, a global leader in aggregating and
distributing long-form, high quality video via the Internet’s most popular media peer-topeer
(P2P) application, today unveils Vuze, the next evolution of quality broadband
entertainment. Available at www.vuze.com, the service enables a robust community to
browse and discover premium content from both worldwide media companies and highquality
self-published content. Vuze now offers dramatically enhanced features and
premium content from around the world, including the U.S. premiere of the hit BBC
television series Sorted, which will be offered in HD. Azureus also announced that it has
entered into an agreement with Showtime Networks for distribution of its original
programming, including award-winning hit shows Weeds, Dexter and The L Word.
Formerly code-named Zudeo, the site already attracts more than two million unique
monthly visitors after only two months in existence. Vuze breaks new ground by offering
a powerful tool set of enhanced features and functions that enable content providers to
easily publish, showcase, and distribute high resolution, long form content in High
Definition or DVD quality over the Internet.
“Vuze recognizes that the next generation online video experience lies within the integration of licensed and self-published content showcased in a theater-like viewing environment,” said Gilles BianRosa, CEO of Azureus. “The millions who make up the Vuze community--publishers, editors and viewers--can share long-form video and download licensed content, and experience it in High Definition on their own computer or plasma screen.”
Additional enhancements to the Vuze open entertainment platform include a completely revamped navigation system and search engine, designed to accommodate the massive influx of content from publishers, large and small, and help viewers quickly find what they want. Vuze provides more options for publishers to syndicate and monetize their content through rental and purchase models. The entire experience, from search and discovery to payment, download and play, has been tightly integrated into the application. Publishers can also distribute their work directly from the application.
Vuze will make premium content available at a very low cost, and offer several popular TV show episodes for free, leveraging Azureus’ unique P2P grid delivery platform. In addition, Vuze will continue to offer a broad range of free content from its community of self-publishers.
For content providers, Vuze serves as an alternative, low-cost distribution and marketing platform to distribute compelling, High Definition content to a fast growing global audience of millions of active users. Both large and small content owners can promote their works to their fan base through comprehensive discovery tools, as well as gauge market interest in specific territories.
Azureus’ current content partners include BBC Worldwide (including BBC HD), Showtime Networks, A&E Networks (including A&E, History Channel, and Biography), Bennett Media Worldwide, G4 TV, National Geographic, Starz Media, more than 20 other media companies and thousands of self-publishers.

note (2003): "Google Adds Supports For NOODP Tag To Opt Out Of ODP Titles" {http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/060713-131905}
... so if I can use the PLS file, why can't I use the standard Playlist file M3U? I tried hosting PLS files with my web host and it didn't work, the files just got displayed as text files, why did this happen? Simply because your web servers MIME types were not setup properly to handle PLS files, in this case you must add them to your MIME types file. The proper entry is:
You can, in fact it is perfectly fine to use either file, it's just that the shoutcast website has made extensive use of this file format, but as Icecast users know, it is not the standard, M3U's come in real handy when you have large playlist, PLS seem to lack any real ability beyond this simple task. M3U files also support title tags in the Winamp Player, so in essence you will get more bang out of using M3U files . But PLS files have been used extensively, and I promote their use for the simplicity and the fact that you have probably seen them more often in this streaming medium.
audio/x-scpls pls
or if
you are using M3U files
audio/x-mpegurl m3u
If your web host does not allow you to access your mime types, you can request that it be added or, if your web host supports it, you can use the .htaccess file to add the mime type to the server. If you see an .htaccess file already in your base www directory, add this line to the bottom of the file: (WARNING: If you are uncomfortable with configuring a server or do not fully understand what you are doing, you can cause your website to cease functioning by deleting parts of the .htaccess file unknowingly)
AddType audio/x-scpls pls
