Cool Thing of The Week: Pandora Radio



Ok so as promised a new feature for the "throngs" out there The Cool Thing Of The Week...




This weeks cool thing is a website, Pandora Radio (http://www.pandora.com/), I was turned onto Pandora about a year or so ago by a coworker. Basically you put in a song or artist you like and Pandora will take the style and play other music similar to it, if you like a song it picks give it a thumbs up and it will find more music like that, if you dont give it a thumbs down and it wont play that song again and will find other music for you. Basically the more you listen to it and rate songs the better it gets at playing stuff you will like. It also will give you a brief description of the Artist, Album, and Song currently playing. You can set up as many different stations as you want so you can taylor them to different styles, and you can also use the Quickmix feature to play a few stations at once and it will rotate them. If you are going to be spending a good amount of time in front of your computer and want some background noise Pandora can become your best friend. My favorite thing to do is throw it on while playing poker online. Here is a link to my profile to give you a taste http://www.pandora.com/people/neoflynn
