#42If you're going to make a last.fm clone you could be a little more subtle about it.
It's because the target user was fakestevejobs.

Can you tell me where you got to that url?

#44Love it. Runs in the background, I don't have to do any work at all. When I need it, it's updated. Nice work keeping it simple.

#45"It’s not meant to be a Pandora but a compliment to it, it’s a place for sound discovery, where you go and listen to music.”" Right, because I don't go and listen to music when I visit Pandora, Grooveshark, etc.
I think the transcribing got a little messed up, but what I meant was that Like.fm isn't meant to be a listening destination. It's not meant to compete with Pandora, Rdio, or iTunes. It's supposed to work with content delivery platforms, aggregate the data, and the ability to play via youtube on the site is simply a convenience feature to aid in discovery.
Last.fm didn't let you listen to music through them at all in the beginning; they were just a sharing and recommendation service. And for a lot of people, that's what they still are. They also are an affiliate for content delivery platforms. They also let you listen to music via youtube on their site. They also aggregate metadata from other sites like wikipedia. How do you differentiate yourself from them?

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
I read the linked article and I'm not entirely convinced there is a difference (I've used last.fm happily for five years, and never touched the streaming stuff). If I've got 30,000 "scrobbles" and all my friends on last.fm, what does like.fm offer me that would make me switch?
They have all this cool data and I feel they're not doing as much as they could with it in terms of modern social features. And for new users I think the experience of finding your friends via facebook is much easier than it is on Last.fm. But I agree with you right now the site still needs more features. But you can use both services while I work on them. I see a lot of potential for improvement and for advancing th…
I am sure they will have FB social features soon enough. Do keep in mind that Last.fm has their own valuable friend graph (even if you may not have a ton of friends on it) that is meaningfully different from the FB graph

#47I noted that the article mentions that there is a lot that is 'coming soon', so maybe this is all in the works and i'm being redundant but: I have to say that i'm not super impressed with how the profiles are set up. I really like Last.fm's profile pages because they provide a huge amount of information at a glance, and they do Like.fm's stated job of being 'a place to find songs that you like' very well by giving yo…
Personally, I think it's better than Last.fm. There are too many pages, too many clicks to get anywhere, it's too much information and too much hierarchy.
Like.fm is simpler to discover what friends whose music taste I like are listening too. Hearing their last 10 songs is fine with me if I can skip through them quickly. And if I want to look at their profile I'll go to Facebook.
Please keep the white space. There's not enough of it on the web.

I use last.fm heavily and i do not see anything for me on like.fm. it is basicly (for now) a bad copy.

I clicked on my profile, history, then I clicked on my name. It just says loading now... ??

#50I misread the title as Last.fm there!
I have a hard time reading it as anything other than Last.fm even after knowing it isn't Last.fm. Wehn you cnodiser how we sacn wdors scuh taht the bignennig and end are by far the most iportmant deriffentaiotrs, the nmiang is annoyingly similiar, IMO.
Nice demo :-) I hadn't put my finger on why exactly I always read like.fm as last.fm, but I think you hit it on the head.
