Pandora Internet Radio

Ok. This one will be brief - however - I was doing some research for a project and came across this web site quite by chance. It was referenced as a direction that the client was looking to go in for their web site - obviously a different context though.

So the web site is: www.pandora.com

So you may be asking yourself "what is the big deal?!?!?".

Here is a summary of what you can do with Pandora Internet Radio:
  • enter artists/songs you like - and it will find similar songs
  • create multiple radio stations
  • if you like a song you can enter the menu and buy it from iTunes or Amazon
  • you can thumb down or thumb up the music
  • you can say you like a song - but have heard it too much and not want to play it for a month

As with most of these offerings their is a free version with some limitations - or you can get off your wallet and buy the service. I don't find the limitations that terrible so I haven't taken the purchase plunge yet.

Now - the concept of this site is really neat - I'd like to see some search engines pick this idea up.
