Last.fm
So because of feedback during the exam, i decided to sign up for Last.fm and see what all the fuss is about. Good things: 1- Interesting ways to surf for music and good indication of the popularity of a song 2- I like the simplicity of the interface and browsing through the different elements of… Continue reading Last.fm
Exam 1
