2009 is quickly becoming the year of the short attention span. Thanks in part to Twitter’s recent skyrocketing popularity, Blip.fm has been steadily increasing in buzz since its launch in July 2008. The site offers users the ability to build playlists on the fly by playing songs and attaching short accompanying messages (150 characters or less, of course).
Last.fm offers vastly more functionality than Blip.fm, including music recommendations based on songs you like. But who has time for anything more than a blip these days?
Do you think Blip.fm buzz will surpass Last.fm?

It was mid-march when last.fm announced that their streaming radio service will become pay2hear after 30 songs. 30 songs that will be randomly picked by your tag or artist of choice. This so far excludes users from UK and Germany.
I’ve seen accounts getting locked/deleted in frustration to this announcement. Scrobbing will still be free though. So, it’s not just a comparison between 2 services, there’s a little more than that. “A little”.
