Pandora: Identifying music

Learnt about a few interesting sites recently. They are quite unique and show excellent opportunities. They will shoot into the limelight very soon!

The first is Pandora. Pandora is a music discovery service that is based on the “Music Genome” project. Music Genome project was started about five years back to analyze the various types of music. Based on this research, they created Pandora.

You simply enter a keyword search and Pandora will pull out music that you may like. As you keep listening and noting which music you like and which you don’t, it automatically pushes music that you may like. The discovery engine is really good, and you actually get to hear music that you would like!

One more interesting thing about Pandora, is that it is written in Laszlo! The application interface is fluid and friendly. They have put up a great example of what can be done with Laszlo.
