Which is exactly why i've been jumping for joy of late, with the news that the 'recomended reading' feature has returned to Last.fm:
98.5%. Which is close enough show you guys. It's not fully public (it's not linked to anywhere but here), but you can take a look and let me know how you find it. http://www.last.fm/home/reading I've been a bit overwhelmed with the new Radio page launch for the last few weeks, that's mostly out of the way now though. I'll carve out a day next week to do the final few bits to this to make it 100%.
Thank you Underpangs.
Since Last.fm went fulltime Beta, it lost anytime reading, and in the 10 months that it's taken to come back, it's a bit of an understatment to say that i've missed it a bit. It's always good for the soul to read something, be it a chart, a lyrics game, someone's 10,000th song, or a foul mouthed user having a good old rant against the lack of audio between Warner and YouTube. It always gave the user a small look into someone else's mind, to see what they're thinking, how they're writing it out, and we all react to it.
Another thing with recomended reading was, how i liked that it would always used to appear on the front page of the site, and suddenly you're getting thousands of thoughts and opinions all at once. With this gone in the redevelopment of the site, not only did it make reading the journals more difficult to find, it was also more duller in general. What with this, i still think that the lack of many comments on thousands (millions even) of journals probably stemmed from not finding a good outlet to entice the casual reader into.
And let's all have a nice toast to the return of recomended reading.And hope it doesn't go away any time soon.
