Free Holiday Music from Amazon
Once again, Amazon is offering free Christmas songs. Last year, they offered a new free song every day until Christmas and all of the previous songs were still available for free download.
This year, Amazon is offering the free songs in groups of 5 songs every 5 days. The schedule is the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, and 21st of Dec. Unfortunately, the first two sets of 5 songs have come and gone; and they're no longer available for free download. Yesterday (11 Dec), the third set of 5 songs was released. You have until the 15th to download them. 25 Days of Free Holiday Songs -- 5th set (21~25 Dec)
Also free for the holidays are the following
25 Days of Free Holiday Songs -- 4th set (16~20 Dec)
25 Days of Free Holiday Songs -- 3rd set (11~15 Dec)
25 Days of Free Holiday Songs -- 2nd set (06~10 Dec)
25 Days of Free Holiday Songs -- 1st set (01~05 Dec)

FYI, this was the first set of downloads, copied from my Amazon order confirmation:
Carol of the Bells [MP3 Download]$0.00 From the album 'Tis The Season To Be Gotee Too By: Capital Kings Deck The Halls [MP3 Download]$0.00 From the album Ukulele Christmas By: Ukulele Christmas We Wish You A Merry Christmas [MP3 Download]$0.00 From the album Sweet Christmas By: Shonen Knife Blue Christmas [MP3 Download]$0.00 From the album Blue Christmas By: Cyndi Lauper Wonderful Christmastime [MP3 Download]$0.00 From the album Holidays Rule By: The Shins I'm not sure what the second set was--I had some of the tracks already from last year and bought the new ones individually. |

You don't have to have a Twitter account to see the tweets for Amazon. For example, you can see the AmazonMP3 tweets at http://twitter.com/amazonmp3 .
If you don't want to be bothered with checking the different Amazon Twitter pages for deals everyday, you can get the tweets through RSS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS ) feeds. The URL for the AmazonMP3 Twitter RSS feed is https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/u...name=amazonmp3 and the URL for the AmazonKindle Twitter feed is https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/u...e=AmazonKindle . Plug those into an RSS feed reader and you'll get the tweets in the reader. You can use RSS feeds in Firefox and Internet Explorer, online using Google Reader http://www.google.com/reader/ , with mobile apps (Apple, Android - maybe on your Android-based ereaders), and Windows and Mac programs. I will say that, unlike most of the Amazon Twitter feeds, the MP3 feed is very "chatty." Lots of tweets telling people to contact support for help with their problems, and lots of tweets during music events like the Grammys, but I find it worth it to keep up with the deals. |

I'm not thrilled with this ever increasing push by websites to link their promos to Facebook and Twitter, and forgoing any mention on their own websites.
