Pandora == Yahoo! or Ask Jeeves, Last.FM == Google or AltaVista. (Technology-wise, I'm not trying to say that they're backed or owned or anything.) Two different approaches to the same problem. I'd like to see what Pandora's classification system thinks of what I'm listening to right now :) http://www.boingboing.net/2006/02/07/free_for_the_downloa.html Great press coverage, though I'll personally be sticking with Last.fm as it does a better job of matching my taste (http://www.last.fm/user/Stinkingpig/). I also like that I pay when I use it instead of paying for the year up front. Still, I'll keep an eye on Pandora, as the author's thesis makes sense, and I could see their service improving at some point. -- Jack Coates At Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture!
