Dabbling with a social networking site? Nah… surely not.
Published by steve j January 10th, 2008 in music stuff, webhead onI hate the whole concept of social networking, the building block of “Web 2.0″ - the way we use the internet now. Actually, while we’re at it, the whole “Web 2.0″ thing is starting to get a bit dull, but I’ll post about that on my company blog (G-RAFF BLOG) in due course. I don’t use Facebook, I deleted my account at MySpace when I realised what was going on there, and vowed to steer clear of anything remotely resembling a social networking site…
…but I have been seduced by Last.fm. Its beautifully put together and actually delivers something that improves my life. I tried the radio thing and it played track after track that I enjoyed, showing me a few new artists and bands I’d never heard of. In keeping with my determination to make this a creative year, I uploaded the whole Angels In Drag album for listening and free download, so if you use Last.fm, and happen to like the album, get on there and do whatever you do to say its cool.
I’m just opening up Logic to get stuck into some more music - lots going on right now, and its sounding good and very exciting…
Funnily enough I’m actually writing my thesis on this subject… I’m not a hater nor a lover, but just looking at the opportunities and methods of measuring the effectiveness of social networking.
