Last.fm and Social Networking

Its been a little while since I last logged in to to last.fm and its interesting to see how your musical profile builds. Recently, I’m big on Lloyd Cole it would seem. And The Killers too. But then I’ve just bought their new albums and enjoy listening to them both.

I’m going to make the effort to log in more and use more of the facilities. Part of my problem is that stacks of my music isnt on cd – its on tape. Years ago I’d spend a small fortune on tapes and I really must get around to getting all those old gems digitised. Anyone remember The Buzzcocks, Sade, Special Beat, En Vogue?? God, there’s loads. And I also need to rip all my cds too.

From a business point of view I’ve dabbled a little in commercial social networking but I need to get committed to it to see what benefits it may bring. I’m registered at soflow and vox and plan to use squidoo too. I messed about in myspace the other day – there’s an awful lot of guff in there, even on corporate pages. Oh, I blog of course for both my personal and commercial interests – that counts too of course.

Part of my interest in social networking is because of an idea I’ve had for a year or more that is entirely going to use social networking as the business model. 2007 is going to be the start of it. I’ll forever kick myself for not trying if I don’t give it a go.
