I did for a few days, then I realized there's about as much a point to it as there is to the "Last song.." thread here at KMC. Basically letting everyone else know what you're listening to? I participate in the thread for the benefit of others, thinking they might appreciate my tastes. Otherwise, LastFM doesn't really serve a purpose unless you put their link in your sig in a forum, because that's the service's gimmick..a little box that shows what you're listening to.
Is it like iLike where you can check out what your friends are listening to, and it refers you to bands you might like?

I'm starting to like LastFM as a music resource, overall. MySpace always features the same bands, and they allow bands to "catagorize" themselves inccorectly. For example, both Jason Mraz and Yung Joc were in "Hardcore", with Lily Allen and Regina Spektor under "Punk".
..and I like seeing what I, and others, listen to.
