Pretty much everyone knows what Facebook is. The same goes for Pandora. But how come Last.fm doesn't get the same credit?
Last.fm is a website which combines the best of both worlds: music and social interaction. The site allows users to make a profile and select their favorite artists and songs. Much like Pandora, Last.fm will recommend music for you based on these selections. Also, the site helps connect people to their "musical neighbors" as they call it, or people who love the same type of music as you do. This capability is similar to the social networking through personal interests and connections on Facebook. The site also conveniently recommends concerts and events in your area and also lets users listen to personalized radio stations.
I can't help but wonder if this site isn't getting as much credit as it deserves- is it just me or should this be a website on par with Twitter, Stumble Upon, and other extremely popular new media websites? If you disagree, why? What does the website lack?
Of course, there is always another side to this story- maybe I am living under a rock and am one of the few that have never heard of this before. Please give me some insight!
