Last.fm – The Social Music Revolution: Feb 5, 7:18am 626 reviews music, social
http://www.last.fm/; Last.fm uses plugins for your music programs to collect your listening history (song title, artist name) and displays it on your profile page (recent songs, top artists, top tracks, etc). It compares your tastes with others. It offers streaming audio, similar artists, and playlists.

It's a great way to share music suggestions with friends and discover new bands.

http://del.icio.us/; Delicious is a tag-based bookmarking web service that allows you to organize your favorite links, access them from anywhere, share (or hide) your bookmarks individually, and browse others' bookmarks based on tags (keywords) and tag-bundles (keyword categories or subjects).

The Delicious Bookmarks add-on for Firefox isn't required but I consider it essential for daily use, like the stumbleupon add-on.

Some people prefer to use Delicious like they would stumbleupon, where you tag a plethora of sites you're not likely to return to. However, I suggest only tagging sites you personally want to return to again at some point. Temporary or once-only sites would be better saved in your local bookmarks or using a site like Instapaper. That way you'll have less garbage to sift through later on.

I also suggest you keep tags per bookmark to a minimum, be specific and reduce redundancy. It'll help in the long run. Expect to make some changes to tags as you get used to the site. Tags can be renamed, deleted and categorized in bundles.

(the site offers importing/exporting bookmarks, privacy options, and RSS feeds)

Zeitgeist - The Movie: Jul 11, 2007 9:28pm 392 reviews politics, religion, video, conspiracy
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/; Thumbs up for entertainment and presentation, thumbs down for accuracy.

I'd suggest checking it out if you're into a depressing ride of conspiratorial puzzles, but be sure to fact-check it, as there are a number of inaccuracies peppered throughout.
