The brand new flash-based widgets created by last.fm to allow its users to share their music taste with the world are so cool… and hot! They’re an upgrade to the old school image charts which have been around for a while now.
Multiple types of these widgets are available:
- A Radio player to play tracks of specified artists, genres or based on the playlist of any registered user.
- A Playlist player to stream tracks you select from your “scrobbles”.
- A “quilt” widget displaying a sort of dynamic collage of your favourite artists or albums.
- Charts listing your favourite tracks, favourite artists, or recently played tracks with some nice “onHover” effects and with the ability to preview the songs.
I have replaced the image chart I used to have in the sidebar with the new fancy one. I have also added a “quilt” widget showing the artists I listen to the most, a real piece of eye-candy! Here’s a selection of my most-played songs, they can be streamed full-length from the embedded player.

The Red Devils go marching on! May 6, 2007
Posted by Fadil in : Man Utd , 7 comments
We’ve got our trophy back! Yes, Manchester United are the 2006-2007 English Premier League Champions! It follows from the 1-1 draw at the Emirates stadium between Arsenal and Chelsea, leaving Man Utd with a 7-point advantage over runner-up Chelsea with two games remaining. United put the pressure on Jose Mourinho’s side by winning the Manchester derby 1-0 yesterday!
It was an outstanding campaign for the Red Devils. Plagued all along by injury to various key players, the team found the resources to fight back when it mattered. With already eight Premiership crowns in the bag, Sir Alex Ferguson’s desire to win is still second to none! He has showed it once again this season by leading his team to the top of the Premier League, the FA Cup final and the Champions League semi final. Praise should be given to every member of this formidable team, with special mention to Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic who have been remarkable throughout the season! Inevitably, the loudest of acclaims goes to double award winner Christiano Ronaldo for his mesmerizing skills and invaluable contribution to the team’s success.
After two years, the Premiership trophy is back where it belongs: The Theatre of Dreams! Jose Jose, what’s the score?!
