Web 2.0 Awards

I looked over the Web 2.0 awards, and found one of my mainstays. The #2 music choice is “Pandora”, which I have been known to frequent. Pandora is a website that allows you to put in the name of a musician or song you like, and it will play things by that artist, and similar artists. You can create stations based on your preferences. As it plays you songs, you can give them the thumbs up or thumbs down to individual tracks, and it will base future song selections on what you like. This is great if you are looking for new music, plus the account it is not tied to a computer, so if you have access to the internet, you have access to your stations. It’s also free, which gives it an edge when compared to programs like “Rhapsody”. If you are a music lover, and looking for something new, I would recommend checking it out.

The #1 music site was Last.fm, which looks really interesting as well. I have created an account, and am looking forward to exploring it.
