iTunes hits 10 billion downloads

Happy birthday, Johnny Cash. And congratulations, Louie Sulcer.

In a press release, Apple announced today that its iTunes Store had topped 10 billion song purchases and downloads. (Seems like only yesterday it was hitting 1 billion.) The 10 billionth song was Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way,” an early Cash song from his album “Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous,” and it was purchased by Sulcer, of Woodstock, Georgia. (By coincidence, Cash would have celebrated his 78th birthday tomorrow.)

For his impeccable timing (and, it must be added, terrific taste), Sulcer will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

Why Google Buzz will be a hit

Google Buzz, Google’s new social networking service announced this week, isn’t particularly original.

Just like Facebook and Twitter, it lets you share links, updates and media with friends. Even so, it’ll probably be a moderate success.

Google Buzz is perhaps the most generic “social sharing” service launched to date. Users can enable the service in their Gmail accounts to share status updates, photos, videos and more with the group of people they e-mail most often.
