Could somebody explain what this is without the "last.fm" analogy, since I don't have the foggiest idea what "last.fm" is.

  When you use Last.fm and install their software thingy, it tracks what music you are playing on your computer. (I think its called "scrobbling" or something). I think the analogy is that their software will show what papers you have on your computer, which would indicate that you have read them and might reference them.

    Not only that: An important feature of Last.fm is its recommendation system, and Mendeley seems to have one as well.

    Thanks. Color me paranoid, but I would never install a program that looks at my HD and reports aspects of its contents to someone else.
