Web Tools: Pandora Radio
by Brad Johnston on May.04, 2010, under misc
Pandora Radio is a web app I discovered through Go2Web20 that determines the type of music you like by playing a song and providing you a “Thumbs Up” or “Thumps Down” button and further matches your interest the more you listen.
This is certainly an app that you would use personally though it could certainly be a nice tool to use while working! I didn’t see any options for privacy but do I care if people know what music I like? Not at all, in fact I encourage people to see what great taste I have in music!
The site has a very simple, easy to use interface. Music starts playing immediately upon arrival, even before signing up for an account. If someone decides to sign up, the process is very easy–they only ask a few questions and off you go, deciding what you like to listen to!
Upon further discovery, I noticed that Pandora also has an App for the iPod/iPhone that utilizes the Internet to download the music. A few other options with Pandora is to share what you are currently listening to on Facebook, Twitter, email, and also to create a specialized “station” to send to a friend.
