Microsoft Sells 1 Million Zunes
In SFGate.com, Robbie Bach, the President of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division declares that Microsoft has sold over 1 million Zunes, their digital media player and competitor to Apple’s iPod.
Now I know in the grand schemes of things, 1 million sold is not that large, but to be honest, I was surprised that they sold that many. I have not had the opportunity to even hold or play with the Zune, but every review and article I have read on them, has not been that positive. So any Hipster readers who have Zunes, I would love to hear what you think of them and does that “squirting” (share songs via Zunes) actually work? Let me know, thanks.

Feedburner Help Needed
I was hoping for some help or opinions on Feedburner stats. Recently, it seems that the number of subscribers I have rise and fall rapidly which does not make a lot of sense to me. For example, on Sunday Feedburner listed this blog as having 173 subscribers. When I woke up Monday morning that number dropped to 138. Are you telling me that between Sunday and Monday 35 people unsubscribed to my feed? Seems a bit far fetched to me. What do you think? Your input is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Tuesday morning, the number has jumped to 154 subscribers. This is like watching a volatile stock on the Nasdaq.

LinkedIn a box
If you notice on my side bar to the right, you will see a cute little widget that is hooked up into my LinkedIn Profile. This was created by Linkedinabox and I thought I would give it a test drive. It allows users to view your profile without having to leave my site. I think what will determine the success or failure of this widget is its load times. If it takes too much time to load or even worse slows my overall web site load times down, we will be kicking it to the curb like so many others.
