Live Blogging: IBP Camp Helsinki
We'll be testing something new today as we'll be live blogging the IBP Camp Helsinki from Korjaamo. The event will feature really interesting speakers such as Andreas Ehn and Timo Soininen. IBP Camp Helsinki's official after party, ArcticEvening Helsinki will take place starting at 6pm. We won't be able to live blog that, but this is something we'll test for the future too. Do take part in the conversation and let us know if you'd like to ask us any questions from the speakers.
Spotify Opens Up The Door
Both the Spotify and the developer community were absolutely delirious when the news about libspotify, Spotify API, were released on Tuesday evening. At first.
"The libspotify C API package allows third party developers to write applications that utilize the Spotify music streaming service. Hopefully, this will enable and inspire you to build some really cool stuff. We’re looking forward to seeing what you can come up with." So far so good.
Then they read the Terms of Service and were not quite as happy.
- “Approved Device” does not include any mobile wireless handset or any other internet-enabled device that is designed to be handheld."
- "The Application Key must be embedded in your Application, including in all updates and revisions thereto, in a secure manner not accessible by third parties."
- "Spotify reserves the right in its sole discretion to revoke your Application Key for any reason or no reason, without notice, and to block access to the API and Service by the Application, without any liability to you or your users."
