Pandora

          Pandora.com, otherwise known as the online radio designed specifically for you, is in my opinion the best invention ever. Pandora is a website that you can go on and pick a station you want to listen to. The stations are made by a song, artist, or composer that you like. Pandora takes the artist, song, or composer you said you liked and compiles a list of songs similar to your choosing. It then plays the songs that it thinks you will like and asks for your feedback. If you say you like the song (a thumbs up) then it will find more songs like it has, and if you say you don't like it (a thumbs down) it determines what about that song you didn't like and comes up with different songs for you to listen to. You are also able to indicate whether you are tired of the track. If you are, it doesn't play it for a while but still keeps it in the possibility of being played again.

           

            If you create an account on Pandora, it saves your stations for you which allows to keep multiple stations. Pandora also answers questions you have about why the track was selected and if you don't agree with their reasoning you can move the song to a different station.

           

            If all this wasn't enough, it has even more! For each song played, it provides you with lyrics, a brief biography of the artist, and lists similar artists you might enjoy listening to. It also works kind of like YouTube in that you can see what other people are listening to and you are able to join with friends and share stations. I am pleased to admit I am listening to Pandora Radio right now and currently have ten stations I can choose from. Pandora is available for access on a computer, iPod, phone, and in your car. The possibilities on Pandora are limitless which is why I think it is one of the best inventions ever.
