More Web 2.0 (Thing 17)

I did poke around the top sites quite a bit, but I have to admit right now I'm completely captivated by last.fm...a music site which compiles favorites, plays them, and also gives recommendations. I could listen to this one for hours.

I am really not sure about the merits of this site for school, except perhaps to find common ground with my students. I have found that knowing some of their music goes a long way (in a short time) to connecting with them. Perhaps I could even get them listening to some good (slightly older?) music, rather than some of the redundant, flash-in-the-pan stuff on the pop charts (notice: I said "some":)
