Yesterday I started to use LastFM for the first time, before yesterday I didn't really see the use for this community, but now I'm more or less fired up! I have read a great deal about LastFM in the other Nokia Blog's and been thinking that I maybe should give it a try, and also the fact that it seems that a lot of my new friends use it.
How do you use it then, well first of all you need to to go to LastFM and create your own profile there. After that you download the LastFM software so you can start scrobbling. I use on my N95 Mobbler that does the trick for music you listen to on your device.
After you have all this installed it´s just to scrobble away. And you can get your recently listen music up as listings at the common community's like, Facebook, Myspace, Jaiku and others.
Lets scrobble and share what we're listening too!
Obviously there are problems with an online presence and for many people this is not a chose they will make but for lots of people it's more or less a need. That's why there are all this different communities like Jaiku , Twitter etc. Not to mention the traditional chat channels like MSN, Yahoo, Googletalk etc.. I'm really amazed with all this new way to communicate, before I got my N95 I didn't know a lot about Jaiku, Twitter or QIK, Flixwagon. But now I see them as compliment to my blogging in text like here on VOX or on my other blog(In Swedish, sorry guys!)
I decided in beginning of this year that this year I would start blogging, just for fun as I have not so much work at this point in life and needed something creative on my mind. I'm a creative person, has been a semi-professional musician (Viola and Violin), I'm a composer (Check my composition display here!) and I have also written a cookbook (Not published yet!). So for me creativity is a necessity, it's an need really.
Anyway, anybody wondering what's the point here? Well, for creative people have a need for confirmation and acknowledgement of their work. And what better way than Internet OR an online presence could give you that?
I will on my journey this weekend try to be as much online as possible through my incredible N95 that I have seen so little limitions on so far.
