Last.fm Makes My Day

Last.fm, a “social music” site, has started streaming full tracks, from thousands of artists, for free. I’m listening to Springsteen’s new album right now. So happy.

Incidentally … is it me, or is “social” the new “i”? For a while there, back in the mid-late 90s, every other mildly internet-related product had a little “e” tacked onto the beginning of its name. Then Apple ushered in the era of the “i”, setting off a mini-apocalypse of i-products and — even worse — endless i-puns. That seems to have petered out, thank god, but now the success of MySpace and FaceBook has given us a stultifying cavalcade of “social something” sites. Hey guys! Bandwagon much?
