Fring plugs into Last.fm

Fring, the popular mobile VoiP and instant-messaging application, just announced Last.fm support, so now you can see what your friends are listening to and organize your own tunes while still having quick access to your other social networks. If you’re packing a G1 and you’re sad that you can’t grab Fring, yesterday Last.fm made the jump to Android, so at least you’ll still have that. That’s not to say Fring’s resting on their laurels, either - their last update for Windows Mobile was pretty impressive, let’s just hope they bring that manpower to bear on Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s platform sooner than later.

Any movement towards integrating a user’s social media accounts is good, as far as I’m concerned. I wonder if Fring has any plans to integrate with Pandora, the other popular mobile music player. The most blaring example of a lack of social integration into mobile apps is that the YouTube mobile app does not sync with a user’s online profile, comments, favorites or followed channels.
