I have lost about a day of productivity to investigating various mash ups this week of "Web 2.0" leaders like Flickr, Wayfaring, and Last.fm. The link has the full details (Techcrunch is another gem of a new find, now on the sidebar), but essentially, a 3rd party has combined the two leading music discovery sites: last.fm (a sort of flickr for the music world?) and Pandora. I am very much in the Last.fm camp (I guess like how a person is either a Beatles or Elvis person, you can like both but you can only love one?)....but I'm very happy to see this brilliant mashup. Just hope the lag time is not too poor.
On a related note, LivePlasma is also an interesting new music, film, and media site, but I'm not sure how useful it will be without better linkages to some of the other services discussed above. Finally, Flickr will be getting some serious competition from new photo site Riya.
