Last.wp

So do you want the world to know what you just listened to? Do you want to show it off in your… WordPress sidebar? I know I do! What Last.wp does is show a few of the songs you just scrobbled over to Last.fm. It stands out beyond the other choices because it does it’s dirty work in Javascript (which can speed up your server, because it doesn’t have to make request over to Last.fm every page load, rather your Guests computer does it). It displays album artwork, the song name, the artist name, and the album name! Your guests will be AMAZED when they find your recent obsession with Conway Twitty! They’ll gasp in awe when they see how much you played the beetles within the past five minutes, and their jaws will drop when they see you’ve been spinning N-Sync albums! Wait no longer, your guests can be amazed today!

On the technical side, Last.wp is powered by a small plugin provided by the kind people over at Engage Interactive. (Thanks for providing it under the GPL guys!). Unfortunatly, it requires each person to have their own API key as of now, due to Last.fm’s confusing API system. It’s easy to get one, you just login and go to the API screen, create a new application, and Voila, your very own API key! (Consult the Instructions for details)
