Pandora

So I realize that I haven’t blogged in a while given the crazy week for the markets... but hopefully I’ll get around to that some time soon.
In the mean time I have a quick post in the form of a recommendation. I’ve recently discovered a website called Pandora. It’s similar to the sites of regular FM radio stations that allow to you “listen live” to their broadcast via the Internet. Pandora, though, allows you to type in a song or artist and then uses a formula to “create” a radio station for you that plays songs by that artist and similar types of artists and songs, thus creating your own personal radio station. Once it plays you can give certain songs “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”, which all plays into the equation of predicting music you’ll like. It’s great if you’re at a computer without an iPod handy. And it’s all for free.
Check it out. Pandora Radio.
