Ever since Audioscrobbler became Last.fm i am pulling my hair out at all the idiotic UI design issues the new site has. To add a friend you have to find the + sign way over at the right on the menu bar on a user’s profile. They won’t say what the plus does, -after- you manage to find it, mind you you’ll just have to go for it. Now for adding yourself to a group the secret + sign is appearently not good enough, here they have opted for a miniscule text link in between the items on the -left- of your screen. At least this one says what it does. After you find it…
Last.fm is one of those really cool ideas that never really got implemented very well. Aside from the UI issues there is so much more that can be done with the wealth of data (and users) the site has. Still… go install the plugin and start scrobbling. It’s pretty cool nonetheless and Joi Ito is advising them appearently so it’s bound to become better somewhere down the line
