From Gold Records to Gold MP3s

"It might not be the same as having a big gold record on the wall, but the Recording Industry Association of America has issued its first gold, platinum, and multiplatinum certifications for digital downloads.

The first obvious winner? Outkast’s 'Hey Ya!' is the only multiplatinum single so far, with more than 400,000 downloads. Six songs qualified for platinum, or sales of 200,000 singles, and 45 titles got gold status, for selling 100,000 songs." [News.com, via Furdlog]

Because I can catch up on conferences I couldn't attend in person!

• Buzz Bruggeman and David Weinberger (scroll down to October 23) on PopTech
• Geoff Harder on NetSpeed 2004
• Mark Leggott on Access 2004 (scroll down to October 16)

BTW, I'm hoping to restore comments soon in case you want to add more links to this list. Maybe 2005 will finally be the year of the library conference blogger!
