To play music you’ll love - and nothing else.

Posted by admin on Feb 28, 2008 in my life, technology

I recently switched from lastfm to Pandora founded by Tim Westergren (based on Music Genome Project, in it’s own words, ‘the most sophisticated taxonomy of musical information ever collected’) after lot of frustrations with lastfm’s interface and unnecessary complexities with the page navigations. I think this smart radio concept has been successfully executed by Pandora compared to other already-established players including Rhapsody, Napster, slacker.

Pandora edges out other internet radios through its simplicity in its UI, smartness in picking the next right music based on deep musical understanding from its big collection of catalogue titles. I also live feed my blog with my most recently listened songs from Pandora under ‘Listening’ section.

the concept is same as any other internet note-taking tool , but the handwriting recognization and image-text conversion technology is impressive.

“it’s nothing. Except, a simple act of grace. Here’s a random and simple gesture of kindness. This is someone saying ‘I am going to give you a trivial convenience, but if you have the soul to internalize that, you can build a whole life.’ And you can do that if you put your cynicism down.”
