I recognized quite a few of the sites mentioned in the web 2.0 awards. The first category I clicked on was music. I saw that last.fm was one of the sites mentioned so I will talk about that.
Last.fm is great for people that love listening to music. I’ll explain it for those of you that don’t know much about it - when you download the software, the site is able to see what music you play on your computer. On my home computer I have about 10,000 songs and constantly play them in my winamp application. Each of these songs registers with last.fm, even when not connected to the internet, the software remembers what has been played and sends it off to the site next time it is connected. Each week the site updates and tells you who you’ve been listening to the most with weekly charts. There is also an overall chart. It also lists your ‘neighbours’ (people that have been listening to similar music) You can see my last.fm profile here.
I had a look at some other web 2.0 award nominations and found the one sentence stories. I really didn’t think this was too great. Didn’t really see the point in it. There were a couple that were almost interesting but if I’m going to waste my time on the computer I’d rather be doing something fun (like playing hobowars on facebook) or something interesting. One sentence stories get boring very quickly.
Speaking of facebook, the video below is a song about facebook, which I found quite amusing.
