"Anything technology related that interests you this week"? Hmm... quite a selection... I'm going to have to choose last.fm!
i think last.fm might be the best thing ever created, lol. In the past, i mostly used to discover new music by reading about them in magazines. most magazines i like are hard-to-find European publications and so when my (ex-)favorite easy-to-get magazine completely abandoned their roots & started covering music styles i'm not interested in, i was at a loss ...until i stumbled onto last.fm a year or two ago.
Through tags and comparing user charts, last.fm recommends bands. You can network with other users via groups & shoutboxes. i've recently started leaving comments on songs, artists, and albums as i listen to them. There’s a place to write journals (kinda like blogs!) which i've taken advantage of many times, plus you can add connections to songs & bands so your journal might actually get read by people w/ similar interests. They even have some free songs to download (another service i've recently started to use). Photos of bands ppl can add! Band info wikis edited by fans! Events near you!
i still hear about bands to check out through mags or compilations, but with last.fm i can actually hear several songs by them and decide for myself.
*giggles* i feel like i've just written a commercial for last.fm!
