Real Rhapsody: Another Step Forward To Saying No To DRM

Watch out iTunes, you have just got another major contender today as Real Networks’ Rhapsody MP3 store opens up for business.

– a Mac download manager is available to let users download all their songs as a complete package

– successfully secured the catalogs of all four major music labels.

Free Open Source Click Tracking Tools

Here’s a free tool that can help you in understanding what users click on your webpage. ClickHeat is a visual heatmap of clicks on a HTML page, showing hot and cold click zones. And since it’s free, you get to host it on your own server and keep all of the recorded data.

Included features are:
– Low logging activity: a very few function calls to log a click, no server load rise should be noticed (have a look at Performance & optimization)
– A keyword is used to define the page upon Javascript code load, allowing you to group same pages.
– Screen sizes and browsers are logged, making possible the tracking of liquid CSS layouts (100% used width).

Tips: Sounds good to be used with split testing your landing pages.
