Greetings from Corsica

is lastfm evil?

2009-05-24T17:27:00.004+02:00

Lots of rumors around lastfm dealing with RIAA these days
It's now a big company driven by bigger companies having huge economical interests in the net.
So is lastfm victim of its success?
Just don't use it anymore, add you concerts to myconcertarchive!

Quick post to say that myconcertarchive is now listed in crunchbase

twitter publishing

2009-04-04T23:27:00.002+02:00

The app has been approved by twitter as a post source.
From now every new event will be pushed to twitter by 'concertarchive' user.

New event creation process

2009-03-07T23:11:00.002+01:00

I added autocompletion to the event venue and artist creation steps.
It uses JQuery and should help a lot.

facebook improvements

2009-01-21T22:42:00.002+01:00

I'm back with bran new features for facebook users.
I changed the way the app works and it now uses an iframe so that app speed is much better and images and audio files work.
Coming next is probably some Facebook connect like integration.

Audio recordings

2008-11-26T08:47:00.002+01:00

New feature again! You can now add audio recordings to your concerts.
The uploaded file will be transcoded into mp3 using Fabrice Bellard's ffmpeg and played using dewplayer.
You can try it out on my ntm + zebda concert page

Venue update

2008-11-20T08:40:00.002+01:00

Venue names can now be updated (by whom created it only).
This because google maps frequently changes the data it returns and this is completely undocumented

Add or bookmark to

2008-11-02T00:22:00.001+01:00

I added a new feature which is now common to most blog sites : add this event to Facebook, Digg, Myspace...

All current features are available plus :
- invite facebook friends

2008-08-25T23:33:00.000+02:00
