I signed up for LastFM (www.lastfm.com) this weekend after hearing how cool it supposedly is at the conference I went to last week. I am pretty excited to see what conclusions LastFM draws from it's analysis of my music tastes. I wonder how it is going to cope with me jumping from Master of Puppets to Ice Is Workin' It to Mr. Roboto like I did earlier today. I hope it doesn't judge too harshly.

Anyway, I think that this is a type of service/social network site that I will actually use. Whereas MySpace is aimed mostly at posers who are obsessed with displaying pictures of themselves drunk at some party, or looking way more attractive/exciting/cool/young than they ever have in real life, or sharing all of the supposedly funny videos, pictures, soundclips, games, etc. ad nausium that they've found on the internet, this site is aimed at something I am obsessed with: music. I think I'll use it. It would be nice to have some friends who are with me on this because we could share new music we've found, get recommendiations and write back and forth about the cool new shit we've discover and maybe even argue a little bit about whether GnR should reunite, but I am fine tracking my own music tastes on my own if you all are too busy sharing that video of the monkey falling off the branch after smelling his stinky finger.

With LastFM you can export and share your recently tracks, your overall favs, weekly favorite artists and tracks, and a lot more to your blog, RSS feed reader and so on. Yes, even on MySpace.
