I can’t remember if it was last year…or the year before…but I jumped on the LastFM bandwagon, and all of the “musical social networking” opportunities it was supposed to provide. Well, I found the site to be clunky, the British spellings aggravating - and it seemed it took forever for their servers to update what everyone was listening to.

This was always a rather sore spot for me, because my paying job is to help ensure my company’s web applications aren’t clunky or difficult to navigate. I also encourage keeping British terminology to a minimum. I don’t get it - we can get it right, why can’t everyone else?

Needless to say, I didn’t use LastFM for very long. Today, I stumbled across iLike, which is the same idea, only way cooler…in my opinion. God, listen to me…”way cooler.” Ugh. Guess I need to get my hipster-speak out of the way since next month, I officially become an old fogie.

Anyway, their beta has only been up since yesterday, but so far…so good. The sort of neat thing…you can download a sidebar for iTunes, which will show your friends’ recently played lists.

I don’t know…I think it’s fun. I’m always up for new things, and it’s very rarely I’ll pimp businesses or websites…but ya’ll might want to check it out.  And while you’re at it, sign up for Blingo and check out my Proud Army Wife store at CafePress.
