Why Lala.com is Amazing

did i tell you all the reasons why lala is amazing?

Holy crap, the best thing about Lala is that it's extremely social.
You add your friends, and you can see all their listens, ratings, favorites...
you can send each other songs easily, recommend albums, buy each other music.

It's a streaming music service.

here's how it works, though.
You can listen to anything you want for free.
If you want to listen to it unlimited, you have to 'add it to your collection.'  --  it's usually around $0.09 a song..  or around $0.90 an album.
the music collection itself is extremely vast and very well organized.

No duplicate song names, no duplicate artist names.
very organized.

so if you do add music to your collection, it's totally organized.
there's a web-based player that's really intuitive.
you can create playlists and share them.
you can browse people's playlists and easily "add this playlist to my collection."

So if someone puts up this awesome 50 song playlist, you can bookmark it and play it again.
you can easily tweet or facebook what you're listening to, which is fun.
and it has a "music mover"

that sits in your system tray and will sync your MP3 collection with Lala -- You get unlimited space!
you can upload all your music to it and stream it from anywhere!
you can also edit tags from within the player.

And they're building a mobile app, so you can listen to your library from your phone!

and personally, for an independent artist, it's amazing for me.
it's by far the easiest way for people to listen to and purchase my music.
oh you also have the option of actually buying the MP3 version of a song if you /want/ to download it.
If you want the mp3, normal rates apply (around $0.99).
but i've found i don't NEED the mp3s... i'm always online, so streaming is totally preferred for me now.
i don't have to WORRY about any of that.

if i have something I absolutely NEED on my harddrive, i'll download it. but it's rare.

and lala also has a great way of actually giving royalties to directly to the aritsts, so, you're supporting the music community TOO.

it's also super easy to "queue" songs to the end of what you're currently listening to.
and queue albums, too. if you hover over a play button, a queue link always appears.
OH! you can also go to someone's profile, look at their "most listened to" or "highest reviewed" songs and just start playing them back to back.

so it's super easy to hear your friends' favorite songs.
so BOOM. that's why lala RULES.

4 Reasons Why I Immediately Like Opera 10.50

I have downloaded and am using, for the first time, the new Opera 10.50 for Windows (http://opera.com) and I have to say, there are some things that are really nice about this browser.  Here are the five things that IMMEDIATELY jump out to me.

Left-side tabs:
The ability to position my tab-bar on the left side of the browser screen is super nice.  Anyone who is familiar with the excellent firefox extension "Tree Style Tabs" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890) will be immediately at home here. It's nice to see this functionality natively built in the browser.  It's worth mentioning that you can't "nest" tabs like you can in the Firefox add-on version, but it's still much easier for me to organize my tabs on the left, and you'll love it too, once you try it.

Custom URL bar search option "set as default":
Most browsers give you the ability to basically turn your URL bar in to a search engine.  Firefox lets you add keywords to whatever search box you like (just right-click on, say, the yelp search box and create a keyword 'yelp' -- then you can type 'yelp asheville' and it'll search just like you typed Asheville at yelp.com) -- So this isn't anything new to power users.  What's nice, though, is the ability to create a custom search and set it as the default.  I love this web service called YubNub (http://yubnub.org) -- A command-line driven search engine.  You can search anything from here.  IMDB, yelp, google maps, yahoo, ask, ... wikipedia. You name it.  So if I create a keyword search for yubnub and then set that as my default, then I'm done. I can search anything on the web (basically) from the URL bar.  Snazzy.

Speed:
Opera has slimmed down, is small to download, and truly is a really zippy browser. They say they are the world's fastest. Not sure about that yet, but it is fast.

Disabling the scroll bars completely:
I didn't realize how often I just didn't use the scroll bars instead using the mouse wheel or track pad.  It actually frees up a bit of horizontal real-estate and I really appreciate it.
