Rdio Launches Program For Artists To Earn Cash By Attracting New Users, But Stops Short Of YouTube?s Model

Streaming music service Rdio, currently being trumped in North America by Spotify, probably needs to incentive its partners more, especially given the complains from labels and artists about the low monetization available on Spotify. Thus today it's introducing the 'Rdio Artist Program' which they say is the first of a kind program offering a new way for artists to directly earn money from streaming music. The idea is that artists can share their own music and their music recommendations with fans, earning $10 for each new subscriber they attract to Rdio through social sharing. This incentivises artists to pull their fans into the service of course.

You too can get a job as a developer!

Last time I looked, the U.S. unemployment rate was 8.1 percent. Yet as InfoWorld's Andrew Oliver noted a couple of weeks ago in "Is a computer science degree worth the paper it's printed on?" the unemployment rate among developers is more like 5 percent -- which is considered pretty close to full employment.

Barnes & Noble drops price of Nook with GlowLight e-reader by $20

Barnes & Noble has cut the price of its popular Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight e-reader by $20 as it faces competition from the launch of Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, which starts shipping in October.

The Nook with GlowLight, slashed to $119 from $139, is now the same price as the Kindle Paperwhite, which Amazon introduced earlier this month. Target and Walmart�stores now list the e-reader at the reduced price.

It?s a smart move�for�Barnes & Noble considering the strong interest consumers have shown in Amazon's flagship e-reader.

Originally, the Kindle Paperwhite was supposed to ship on Oct. 1, but now if you pre-order one it won't ship until the week of Oct. 22, due to high�demand, Amazon says.

TechHive's Melissa Perenson has had hands-on time with both devices and said the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight -- the first e-ink e-reader to truly deliver on the promise of a built-in light source --�set the standard for silky-smooth reading and shopping because it lets you read anywhere, whether you?re in bed or outside in bright sunlight.

That was back in April. Now that the Kindle Paperwhite is about to hit the scene, Perenson says Amazon pulls off a built-in light better, at least in a couple ways. ?At its maximum output, the Kindle Paperwhite's light is brighter and more even than on the Barnes & Noble Nook with Glowlight; plus, the Paperwhite has no obvious spillage from the LEDs along the sides,? she writes.

Choosing between the two isn't a slam dunk, however.

Amazon's e-reader comes with ads (you have to pay $20 extra to get rid of them), whereas Barnes & Noble's doesn't, and that will make a difference to some people. On the other hand, the Kindle Paperwhite can keep a charge for up to eight weeks, whereas the Nook with GlowLight offers a month of battery life if you use it about 30 minutes a day with Wi-Fi off.
