This week I'm delving into the world of music on the internet. This is not your average pirate sight, nor the new thing about itunes. This is called pandora radio, which I'm sure at least some of you have heard of. This sight allows you to create your own radio station online, in fact it let's you create how ever many radio stations you would like. The point of pandora is to provide a similar but much better and more useful service than the genius toolbar in itunes. The stations you create play music that is similar in style to the artist, song, or album you pick.
This service is not entirely free but they do allow for people to test it out. In addition to this site, there is also an application called Pandoraboy which has taken pandora and made it into an independent app that can be run separately from your average web browser.
I feel that this fits into class because it exemplifies how easily media can be exchanged in today's internet based world. This is a new way in which we can interact with the information out there. You'll never be able to listen to everything out there, so why no start with hearing music that is similar to your taste?
