This is a new series about how to tell the world about your life via the internet. There’s more to tell the world about yourself than just by blogging. There are several ways you can tell the world about yourself and show off. Tell them a little something more about yourself and find people similar to yourself.
The first service is last.fm, it’s a very innovative service powered by audioscrobbler. You either get a plugin (the old way) or you get an application which detects what music you’re playing and it sends it to the server. This server logs it and weekly calculates your weekly top artists and the songs and music you listen to most. In a few months you’ll be looking at pretty impressive results. It’s also real cool to show off to people. Take for example my last.fm page. I’d been using last.fm even before, though not scrobbling regularly but now every song I play is noted. Now last.fm has tons and tons of features, and since it has bucketloads of data, it can recommend similar artists, give recommendations, it now has social networking features, things to add to your website etc. Lots of fun for this site. one of my favourite web services.
Flickr is the enthusiasm and hope of the web2.0 generation put together. It’s a simple photo sharing site which has become a flagholder in the new interweb march. most people already know about it. You just upload your photos and view everyone else’s. It’s that simple. or is it?
Sharing google calendar events is one way of telling the world when they can call you and when you’re getting your beauty sleep. Basically you can plan your entire day out and and broadcast it. I don’t generally use this, but this is largely overlooked. it’s a great way for busy executives to publish their time as free and busy.
More to come soon.
