Sorry, but this seems incredibly useless to me. It's dependent on two other services (Last.fm and Twitter), and it provides no value other than the ego-boost that comes from posting to Twitter. Additionally, the problem it solves is not really a problem; if you're on Last.fm I assume you can type in the title and artist on Google and get the lyrics that way. You have to deliver value to your users, and I'm just not seeing how this would accomplish that.
Perhaps there's something I'm missing here, though, because everyone else seems to love it.
- kilian 16y agoHere my take on it, from the blogpost I wrote about it: Finding lyrics has been a longstanding pet-peeve of mine. A lot of music players don’t allow to you easily copy the title and artist so you have to manually type them into Google. Once you’re there, most sites are cluttered and spammy. Way too annoying. As for posting lyrics To facebook or Twitter: This is something a lot of people (mostly teens) do. Having to do the above, copy and paste it (if the website doesn't use some stupid iframe-trick!), formatting it and then going to facebook or twitter to post is annoying, Lystener is a nice shortcut. :)
