[dorktunes’s Charts – Last.fm](http://www.last.fm/group/dorktunes/charts "dorktunes's Charts – Last.fm")

I am quite confused about the fact the [last.fm](http://www.last.fm/) isn’t reporting on last week’s music figures for the RedMonk music sharing station dorktunes. Even if it was a batch operation- isn’t that what the weekend is for? Very strange. It will be interesting to see when it updates, so we can look at how the experiment is going.

Oh yeah. I also want to see last.fm blogging. Its bad enough eMusic doesn’t. But Last.fm too. What is up with you people? Last.fm’s “[new](http://www.last.fm/updates/)” section has been updated 4 times this year. Give. me. a. break.

If you actually reached out to evangelists like me and Fred your [buzz building skills would be unstoppable](http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/filing.008.html) (dont follow link if profanity offends) . You are forcing your customer evangelists to make all the running. That’s not right. Use blogs-close some loops, people.

Learn from some other Web 2.0 players and get your blogs started up. Your services are wicked – now step up to more customer collaboration. Do you even track what bloggers say about you? Last.fm has never commented on anything I have put forward, though to be fair eMusic has (Chris McBride is awesome).

If last.fm or eMusic wants to become a lot more effective its time to get busy with blogs.

And please tell me- why are last week’s charts still out of date?
