Where Have I Been?
Last night, I came across Last.fm, a music site dedicated to keeping track of your listening trends and recommending music to the user, based on what they listen to. It will sync up with iTunes or any other media player to get information on your listening habits.
I was directed to the site after checking out Feltron’s 2008 Annual Report. This guy keeps track of everything he does in a year’s time. And I mean everything (check out the report). It’s pretty fascinating how much data he collects on himself. In his music section, I noticed he used Last.fm to keep track of everything.
I’ve always thought it’d be cool to know how much music I listen to, which artists I listen to the most, which albums, which songs – all of that. Until now, all I could rely on was iTunes’ play count for each track. The Feltron report has inspired me to keep track of what I do each day, what foods I eat, movies I watch, places I go and more. I caught an interview with him a few weeks ago (via Boagworld) and he just takes 5-10 minutes each day to jot down what he’s done. I doubt I’ll get anywhere near as ellaborate as him by making a fancy report, but it might make for a fun blog post at the end of the year.
