» How Do You Like The New Last.fm?
This is not new for folks who’ve been invited into Last.fm beta, but the bulk of users haven’t seen the new look, which is likely to become the default look soon. I like it; for some reason, it reminds me of Digg; everything got flattened, the design is a lot cleaner and a bit more

The latest analysis from Jakob Nielsen’s UseIt focuses on “bounce rates” and getting that elusive “second click”.

Soceeo is one of those interesting Web 2.0 startup projects that is easy to stereotype, but is hard to describe succinctly (or at least to accurately describe succinctly).
