Find music you never even knew you liked…

Jan 12, 2006 in internet

I’m rather enjoying a site I was introduced to earlier this week, which automagically analyses your musical tastes and suggests music you might like.  You can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to each song suggested until the system totally nails it and every tune is pure, solid, musical gold.  It’s called Pandora.

Great fun, and you can also challenge it by providing it with really stupid ’seed’ songs, like ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua vs ‘Babylon’ by David Grey.  And yes, it will find the common ground.  Strange but true!

Addressing consumers’ real pain points…

“Taiwan is not claiming a world first. Others have bred partially fluorescent pigs before. But the researchers insist the three pigs they have produced are better.”
