Visualizing Last.fm
I’ve been using Last.fm to track my listening habits for a couple of years now. I’ve written about it several times on the site, but if you don’t know what it is, the idea is it’s a streaming music radio station that tracks what you listen to and recommends music. But it also has plugins for iTunes and the like so it can always watch what you are listening to. Yay, this let’s me see pretty charts of my listening habits! Awesome. Check out my page to see some charts and stuff.
Well, Binary Bonsai had a post up about a site that creates beautiful graphs of your listening habits. I loved it so much I had to just re-blog it. Pretty graphs make me happy (this is probably one reason I’m a programmer, I like orderly things. I like data!).
Check out LastGraph if you have your very own Last.fm account. You’ll quickly be looking at awesome graphs yourself!
P.S. The aesthetics remind me of the Baby Name Voyager, an awesome applet that let’s you see the popularity of names over time in the US.
