Last.fmSocial music revolution. Ok, maybe their tag line is a bit of an overstatement but Last.fm keeps getting better. I first started using Last.fm back in April of 2005 when it was Audioscrobbler; not much more than a humble plug-in for logging the artist, album, and song title when you played an MP3 on your computer and a fairly basic accompanying web page for viewing your stats.

Over the last year and a half, Audioscrobbler was renamed Last.fm as the service was continuously tweaked, upgraded, and revamped into a feature-rich “social music” experience that’s more reminiscent of MySpace and the Book o’ Faces.

My favorite new feature is the “recommended events.” Simply enter in your Zip code and view a list of upcoming concerts in your area. Or Last.fm can give you a recommended list based on the music you’ve listened to in the past. Much like the new Trends feature in Google Reader, this is a simple but effective utilization of user Attention data.

You can see my stats or add me as a friend: madape.
