I understood your comment about the profile being more honest in a rather different way: As one doesn't enter the data oneself into last.fm, the resulting profile will in a sense be more "honest" compared to, say, the same user's musical profile on facebook where they might choose to include or leave out certain artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14400454.post-1164776927526013632006-11-29T06:08:00.000+01:002006-11-29T06:08:00.000+01:00Thanks for the remark.

I could further elaborate on it...Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703254077432391736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14400454.post-1164757538765162722006-11-29T00:45:00.000+01:002006-11-29T00:45:00.000+01:00I didn't get the reference to last.fm.
