Pandorastations.com is Live

I did it. I purchased my first domain name and obtained some hosted server space. Now with the help of Pligg, MediaWiki, phbBB, and Google, the site is fully functional.

I just came across something to add to my roundup.

I haven't used emusic.com before but so far this looks like a pretty slick mashup.

I found it via this and this.

20 Ideas to Improve Pandora

A bunch of new features rolled out in Pandora today... and it's all good. I was very pleasantly suprised to get an email from Tom Conrad and Tim Westergren last evening before the launch as a heads up. They both passed emails back and forth with me for several hours, and Tom sent me a screen shot in advance as a little teaser.

They've done a great job with the updates. We've gone from seeing the Pandora community through a key hole to complete information overload. If there is anything wrong now it that there is too much information and no obvious filter.

When I see that someone else likes the same artist I do, I cannot tell if the they were listening to the artist 5 minutes ago or 5 months ago. If they have station based on that artist I cannot tell at first glance if they added the artist to the station and walked away or spend time really developing it and honing it.

I've got many ideas I would like to see implemented in the next update so I started this site:

... to start tracking them. It's Digg-like so go there and add your own ideas and we'll all vote. I'm sure that I can get some Pandora folks to lurk there and keep an eye on what we are most interested in.
