Ben’s Live Playlist (with Assists from Jon and Otto).
I’ve added another feature to the sidebar. This one, called Ben’s Live Playlist, is a feed of my latest listens served up automagically via last.fm and a couple Web toys.
Here’s how it works. Every time I play a song it’s recorded by a little bug on my computer trained to ship the titles to my last.fm profile page. The data is harvested there by a widget created by a guy named Jonathan and then published here using another widget by a guy named Otto.
Since the code was done in AJAX the listing should be updated every few minutes, which means that you can find out what I’m listening to literally as I listen to it. How about that?
If you’re not already a member at last.fm, I encourage you to sign up. It’s a neat way to track your listening behavior and the social networking features are a good deal of fun. If you join, be sure to add me as a friend!
