I’ve been using and listening to Pandora all morning and I can’t believe how awesome it is. In my opinion, this is disruptive technology at work here. Here’s why.

For the past 30 years of my life, I’ve been discovering new music by listening to the radio. Radio does an OK job, but really the radio stations don’t really help with the discovery of new artists. Sure every month or two, I hear an artists that perks my ears, but mostly, I hear the same songs from the same artists over and over again. Radio also has too much talking and advertising that also gets in the way of discovering new music - but hey, they need to pay their bills.

Pandora totally kills the radio. I really like Dave Matthews, so I typed his name into Pandora and for the last hour, I’ve been listening to awesome music by artists that are remarkably alike Dave’s style.

I hope Pandora does well, I’ve already got a list of songs that I’ll be purchasing at iTunes Music Store (by clicking on Pandora’s affilliate link of course).
