= The Song Fight Bulletin Board

I added support for signing up/in with Twitter and Facebook:

http://rate.jonathanmann.net/

SomeSongs seems to be a lost cause at this point, sadly, but I'm trying to at least put the code to use for Jonathan Mann.

If you rejigger the UI to be 520px wide, we can iframe it into a tab on the Song Fight Facebook page.

I will begin recording again at some point, and will spam the somesongs interface. Besides, isn't it the perfect form for GOM and other cover fights? Can it be effectively provisioned for single events like that (built in voting and reviews)? SomeSongs as a service (SaaS)!

I don't think we'd really need to spin off dedicated instances of the site for every side fight like that. People could post the links to their songs there for those things, then somebody could make a playlist with all the songs for a particular side fight. Or maybe folks could set the same album name for all the songs so that they could all be found by searching by album. (I added the option to give an album name for a song, and to search for songs by album name.)

EDIT: And for free file hosting, people could sign up with Bandcamp and upload their songs there.

As I may have mentioned, I have a version of SomeSongs set up that just has Jonathan Mann's song-a-day songs (http://rate.jonathanmann.net/). I was curious about who had rated and commented on the most songs, so I added lists of the top 10 users with the most ratings and comments to the statistics page. I also rolled that out for somesongs.org and it may be slightly interesting for those of you old timers who used that site a lot back in the day.

http://somesongs.org/statistics

This only counts songs that are visible, so it's not the absolute total numbers of ratings and comments.

I've rolled out some more features for http://rate.jonathanmann.net/ and made them available now also on http://somesongs.org/ too. If you hook it up to your Facebook account you can opt in to have it post to your Timeline when you rate a song. Whoo! (?)

I tried logging in with my facebook account. It then told me my account (xtravar) already exists. Help!

Strange. I see half the data I expect to see. I deleted that, you could try again if you feel like volunteering to be a tester for me. I would appreciate the help, I'm pretty short on time for side projects these days, and I've been worse than usual about testing what few changes I do have time to make.

Tried again. Clicked "login with facebook". "D'oh an error occurred. Please use back button." Hit refresh. "Username already taken"

Good times... oy... The best part is I don't see an error in my logs. F. Well, if you are super bored and are feeling very generous about donating your free time to my shitty Web site, you could try again and view source on the "D'oh an error occurred" page and email the me the stack trace. I won't be able to do anything about it till after work. I can't really work on personal projects while at my current job, too busy (which is actually a good thing, yay!).

Roger, Roll posted a great song to somesongs.com the other day, and it could use some more ratings and reviews:
