      <![CDATA[<p>Yahoo continues to buy up all the great talent, this time they've snagged my blog buddy <a href="http://gonze.com/">Lucas Gonze</a> and his innovative music-sharing web app <a href="http://www.webjay.com">Webjay</a>. As the <a href="http://ymusicblog.com/blog/?p=20">Yahoo! Music Blog explained</a> [<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/01/09/yahoo-acquires-webjay/">via TechCrunch</a>]:</p>

<blockquote><p>"Webjay is visionary and fantastic, but we are also keenly interested in <a href="http://www.gonze.com">Lucas the individual</a>.  He&#8217;s contributed a lot of great work to standards around music on the Internet, and has always pushed forward a refreshing perspective of openness and progress without turning a blind eye to infringement or the rights of copyright holders (likely because he&#8217;s a musician himself).  His recent creation of <a href="http://gonze.com/weblog/story/lightnet">the meme &#8220;Lightnet&#8221;</a> is a culmination of years of working under this philosophy."</p></blockquote>

<p>On a personal note, I've been following Lucas' progress on Webjay ever since he started it. He was one of the first readers of my blog too. So a hearty congrats to Lucas - well done mate!</p>]]>
