just a few screenshots from the pending Xbox LIVE Update, which will include access to Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm & Zune marketplace. I couldn’t find Last.fm in the preview, but Facebook & Twitter really works well… if you want to be considered for upcoming Xbox preview-programs (this one seems to be closed down), sign up here!
it’s been almost a week since I first started testing the G1, and so far my initial impression hasn’t really changed that much. like many of my fellow testers I’m disappointed by many aspects of both hardware and software. while the former would make me wait for a successor (I guess the G2 can’t be [...]
few weeks ago I’ve been building this charts-based mashup together with a friend of mine. since we now even managed to get some decent frontend-graphics from blackjune, I tought I might as well pitch it here before christmas…
Charts.fm is based on playlists & user-votings of more than 2600 radio-stations (mostly US, although there’s [...]
time for a quick holiday-posting… just found this post on the official Last.fm-blog on their arrangements for load-monitoring… I love the gauge for displaying the website’s response time
back from my 5day-trip to Barcelona, which rather feels like a 4week vacation regarding all the news that have happened last week. here my personal favorites:
Jason Calacanis launches his infamous ‘Project X’ – Mahalo is a human-powered search-engine with editorial results aiming at the fat head rather than the long tail of search-queries. further insight [...]
if you’re still curious about your listening habits, Rocketsurgeon just published a nice overview on more than 10 Last.fm-visualizers & attention-analyzers.
I’m off to Barcelona for the rest of the week, see you soon!
Kalu Kalu’s visualization script unveils the (more or less) long tail of your listening habits using attention-data recorded on Last.fm (found on Rocketsurgeon, which is a good read for all things Music 2.0).
as reported here a few days ago, Last.fm hast now started to integrate video-content with their service. nothing groundbreaking like personalized video-channels for now though, but nifty quality clips for selected artists (check The Knife for some examples).
Janko Röttgers, author of “Mix, Burn & RIP” (sort of german “standard” literature on the digital music revolution) wrote a Giga-OM-post on LastTube, another take on YouTube vs. Last.fm, questioning the economic eligibility of mashed up webapps. I had similar thoughts when Google released My Maps few weeks ago… like those niche mapping-apps’, last.tv & [...]
instead of the much anticipated video-upgrade, we just have received a very cool Last.fm flash-widget, which is embedding personalized radio-streams (“recently played”…), playlists & charts to any given website. check the sidebar of this page, press the “play”-button & start grooving (click here if you’re reading this post in your RSS-reader!) …stunning!
