Interweb Radio



Internet Radio seems to be exploding all of a sudden with some hot new services like Pandora and Last.FM being the new golden children. I've been on the internet for a while and I've been listening to internet radio on and off for about a dozen years or so but the latest apps that are on the web are totally mind blowing. I remember having to download Winamp just to listen to Shoutcast which streams radio stations that people create using the playlist feature to anyone who wanted to listen.

Pandora and Last.FM are super cool in that you can pick artists, genres, or songs and then have the website determine what you should listen to. This is pretty neato and so far I've been listening to Pandora but I've just discovered Last.FM which adds even more features and even has a plethora of music videos to watch too. I'm glad to see this stuff evolve and I hopefully it will lead me to add to my current collection of music that I have on my computer.

Hail to the interweb and all the goodness it brings to our lives!
