As I was going through my Google Reader feeds, hitting the “share” link I got to wondering: “Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a similar ‘share’ link for iPods?”.
Here’s how tune sharing would work
There would be a setting in iTunes along the lines of “Share starred track info” or possibly “Share tracks above <n> stars”. As I’m listening to an interesting podcast, I’d use the “star” feature on the iPod or iTunes to mark the track for sharing. Information about the starred tracks would be sent to Apple and added to my RSS feed of shared tracks which would probably reside on some Apple website.
My friends and followers could add my shared tracks to their RSS readers and check out my favorite tracks. I’m sure some web 2.0 company will jump on this and make an iTunes shared track to twitter bridge.
