So I always seem to know about all the “trendy” web 2.0 stuff out there, but I never really use it – and when I do I realize what I’ve been missing out on.
Granted, there are some that don’t really hit the mark – like twitter. It is hyped a LOT and I still hear/read lots of people talking about it, but it really seems a little too simple for me. I don’t need to know what people are up to 24/7. It’s like a whole idea based around facebook status messages.
I’ve just discovered a great web 2.0 site, though, that I’ve read about for a long, long time. I never actually went to the site, though, until I heard they are offering lots of full tracks to listen to whenever you want – no more 30 second previews!
Granted, it’s not for every song on the site, but I’ve found a lot that are full tracks. But that isn’t the reason I’m even mentioning it – I just realized they have a great app (at least on OS X, not sure how good it is on windows and linux) that is basically like Pandora on steroids. For me, I really just never liked the Pandora interface.
So anyway, last.fm will also track your music stats, hook you up with “friends”, and basically anything else a social networking site does.
Basically, it just has a great interface, a great little app that goes along with the site – and it just works (cue apple fanboy flames!).
I digress – you can just go check it out for yourself!
Happy listening…
