The last FM site is just too damn slow for me, I don't go there much as a result.
 
 I think the coolest thing about it is you can take the RSS feeds and then publish them on your own website...

 I think it will take tracks from the recently played playlist, so if you  have your ipod set to auto sync it should update from the ipod

i don't think so; no.
 
 
 and as far as the group charts...i'm not sure exactly how they work either, but i assume that it is recording how many people have listened to that artist.

One thing that's kind of a bummer is it also doesn't count what you're listening to on Internet Radio.  That would be kind of cool if stuff from WOXY or KEXP or whatever streams was listed, as well.

Actually, yes, it does. Or it can, if you tweak the correct settings. I can't recall if that's the default setting or not. It may depend on the type of iPod? (I'd be surprised if it works for iPod Shuffles, for example.) You can only specify one iPod per account to sync up with last.fm, and it uploads which tracks you've listened to on your iPod when you sync up the iPod with iTunes. Which you would need to do at least once per week in order for your tracks to show up on the 9:30 group charts.

Select "Preferences..." from the notes menu in the menu bar. Click on the "Enable iPod Submissions" checkbox. This is the Mac version. I have no knowledge of the Windows version.

 For Windows users, go there.  He apparently wrote a program for syncing an iPod with last.fm.  I haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know how it works when I get home and download it onto that computer.

I've just created a group on Last-FM called Doomlink.  Anyone who has ever been on Doomlink, thought about Doomlink, or has ever skipped over a post about Doomlink, is welcome to join!

It apparently just updates from your most recently played playlist on your iPod.  Not the most accurate, but whatever.
