Audioscrobbler

Audioscrobbler is yet another social networking engine. The hook to this one is that it uses a plug-in that works with your music player of choice to compile information about what sort of music you listen to, then generates recommendations and can match you to other people with similar tastes (clicking through one of my song titles, for example, I can see others who have listened to the same thing -- then I can view their recent;y played tracks, their favorite artists and so on).

I've known about Audioscrobbler for a while but haven't had much interest in using it, but Frank finally talked me into it. So now you can see what I've been playing lately.

Hmm, I wonder how many headbangers I'd get matched up with.. (listening to Halford right now)

I decided to go back and give it a try today. Not much data for it to work with yet, but what it has is here:

Hmm, I wonder how much longer it'll be before it starts providing anything beyond my last week statistics. I've given it about 180 songs already, but that's not enough yet.
