I use soundcloud.com for listening to new music. There are lot's of producers sharing their music & it's a great site.

They have an API which I used to mine the relationships between users (who follows who) and so by using a PageRank style algorithm (UserRank) I scored each user in terms of how influential they are. I then used this to chart the 100 hottest tracks on soundcloud each month (based on an aggregate score of who created, favourited and commented on a track).

You can play each of the tracks directly from the page, either sequentially or randomly, so it's like a single page playlist of the best of that month (a little like an old style independent record shop, think the Rough Trade wall in London).

As UserRank is a function of influence and not pure 'numbers' it means that unlike a traditional chart top ranking tracks do not necessarily need a large number of people favouriting/commenting on them.

Note - doesn't play tracks on iPad as it requires flash.

Fed up with not being able to find pages that I knew I had visited in the past I wrote a Chrome extension that automatically indexes the url, title & content of every page you visit - allowing you to search your entire browsing history.

Why is this useful? Imagine you know that last week you read a news article by author "X" but you can't remember where, or how you got to it; by searching your recawl history for "X" you can easily find the page you were looking for.

I've just seen an ad for TuneUp and noticed they have trademarked "Automagically".

I've been using this word for ages, as I'm sure others on HN have too. WTF!?
