I received an invite to join Last.fm’s beta site this morning and the new product looks sharp. The site feels a little like Facebook, but I think that’s a positive.
I’m not sure if the social networking site for music fans will ever take off without closer integration into another service like Facebook, but I continue to use the site in case it does improve. I let the Web site record which songs I’ve played on my iPod when I synch new songs over from iTunes or charge the device.
I realize I like Tom Petty, but it’s interesting to see how much more often I’ve played his songs than other artists since November 2007. I’ve played more of his songs than the second-, third- and forth-most listened-to-artists combined.
I guess that means I’m pumped to leave work at noon tomorrow, drive down to Cincy and watch him live at Riverbend. Tiffany will be my Highway Companion.
Here’s a screenshot of the Last.fm beta front page:
