jmo's last.fm

I have been running around the past couple days messing with my sites (as you might be able to tell). And in finding a new widget to show all my social sites I have joined, I realized there were some I haven't looked at yet. Holy cow! that is terrible!

So being the computer geek I am, I had to fix that. And I found some really neat stuff, so it is a good thing.

First, if you haven't looked at Last.fm, please, go do it! It is really cool! You get a free account, setup a short profile, and start looking up your favorite bands. The cool thing is that just about every band you can think of has a radio station for them. They are stations started by just users of the site, but they put some really good tracks. The only thing is that in order to have your own station, you do have to pay a fee. But to do it, you also have to have a variety of 45 songs from 15 different artists. If you don't have that, then you can't do your own radio statio to begin with.

But for free, you can look up your favorite artist and listen to the station that is already running. So one of my favorites is The Pogues Radio. They have a bunch the Pogues and Shane MacGowen, The Tossers, Floggin Molley, The Real McKenzies, The Dubliners, and the list goes on. Great celtic drinking music! haha...

The second is Delicious. It is very simple, a bookmarking site. You sign up for a free account, it adds a few buttons to your browser, but when you hit a site you like, then you can tag it and add it to your account page. Your bookmark page is available to everyone, so it is kind of a "bookmarking the best on the web" type deal. But pretty cool. I am using mine to start building web design reference sites for my team at work. Take a look at my profile - http://delicious.com/jonsmof
