Robert Terrell was the first person I remember talking about Pandora. Actually, it may have been the other Rob “Orangejack” Williams. Either way, I’ve been using it this week for the first time – thanks mainly to the iPhone app.
I love it. The basic premise is this – you tell the site an artist that you really like. It goes and gets music that matches it. It creates this radio station for you and as the new music is played, you give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
The more you vote, the more accurate it gets.
For me – it’s hitting home runs every single time. I have a John Mayer/Stevie Ray Vaughn channel. Incredible matches. I’m finding new artists that I like, new music to jam out to…perfect.

There is a website that I use as well, last.fm that does pretty much the same thing, fun stuff!

Yeah, I’ve used last.fm for the past few years, but I’ll check out Pandora to see how it matches my favoritie artists with other music…
I LOVE Pandora! Haven’t played around with the iPhone app much, but I use the site nearly every day. I probably use it 10x as much as my iTunes now. It does a great job of pulling good music matches.
i would guess it was rob. i’ve used pandora but i ended up sticking with last.fm.
