Spotibot.com - Generate Spotify Playlists powered by Lastfm!: Makes Spotify playlists based on the name of a music artist or your Last.fm favorites/recommendations.
Groovify your music tweets - Denoiser the better: Tweet a song and @groovify generates a Spotify or Grooveshark playlist based on it.
Django Authentication using an Email Address: I’ve read a lot of half-thought-through explanations for how to let users of a Django site log in with email address rather than username. This seems to be the only one that covers all the bases. Still, it shouldn’t be this hard.

06:16am: Moved up to the fast lane in the pool this morning. If only I was swimming in an allegory.
10:43am: VACANCY: We need an assistant to make us Spotify playlists on demand, like iTunes Genius. Knowledge of all music ever required. Paid in tea.
10:57am: @moongolfer Nice, ta. http://spotibot.com also looks handy.
10:59am: @gilest A biscuit allowance may apply after a successful review following the three year probationary period.
11:10am: @topfife Thanks, but I’m not short of playlists made by strangers :)
12:20pm: @kierondonoghue Very nice, ta. But the drag New Playlist bit doesn’t work for me (Mac, Safari 5). Maybe add copy and paste like Spotibot’s?
12:21pm: @ethermole Exactly! We need a trainee @irvinebrown, but no design skills required.
