Jonty WareingAbsolutely flabbergasted at Last.fm finally being independent again after two decades of neglect by CBS. Incredibly exciting.
Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs@jonty shared with work people. Then realised I had to explain why Last.FM was significant. (Last.FM was, in part, responsible for the uptick in services like CDDB and MusicBrainz, which in turn gave teams like Spotify their headstart to build a recommendation engine). I decided not to invoke Libre.fm on the grounds they already think I'm a Free Software nerd 😂
@JonTheNiceGuy (I was one of the early last.fm staff, I am quite aware 😆)
@jonty oh no, that was what I told people, I was hoping for someone to correct me so I had enough time to fix the message before people started coming into work 😉
On the "you worked at Last.FM" front. Thanks for making such a big part of my late teens, early-to-mid twentys!
