Pandora - a new kind of radio

From what I understand, bloggers have a lot of impact these days on marketing and advertising. There rests a whole lot of power in a tiny little blog like mine. Whether you believe that or not it makes no difference to me. Still, in the event that it's true, I thought I would harness the power of Pet Peeving for good today.


Let me tell you about a site that I have been using for more than a year now, called Pandora. I love using this site more than my iTunes or traditional radio. Pandora allows you to create your own radio station based on a musician, group, or song. You choose one and Pandora will only play songs that are similar to the style you chose.

Here are a few of the advantages.

  • No wasting time looking for songs.
  • Pandora stores your stations so you can access them later.
  • It's web based, so you can use it at work or home.
  • You hear music you might like but normally wouldn't have ever heard of.
  • No commercials - just advertising on the site.
  • No DJs
  • It's Free.
Try it out and please let me know what some of your stations are that you enjoy. Oh, that reminds me. The site is social too. Which means you can find friends and share your music with others. Enjoy!
