Last.fm is an amazing initiative that i discovered through Mark Comerford’s blog MarkMedia.

Download the Lastfm software to your pc/laptop/mac, install and start “scrobbling”. Scrobbling is the term that Lastfm has coined to explain thier concept. when you scrobble, you play music from your media player (Itunes, WMP, Winamp etc etc etc) that is then picked up and stored in the LastFM server and made available for other users to view.

Now, you can join groups of users with similar interest, find stations that these users have compiled and listen to their choices. find music similar and new to the music you like. Its an incredible musical network!

You can also enter “Journal” entries about music and gigs, live shows and rants about instruments if you so feel, somewhat of a blogging feel to your user profile.

Have a look at my first journal entry here: Jump, Little Children - Journal - Last.fm
