Closed Published by mike@mikemcguff.com (mikemcguff) March 29th, 2007 on mikemcguff blogI think I’ve written on this blog about Pandora.com and Slacker.com in the past. Or at least I wrote an article about it somewhere.

Back on topic, The New York Times also wrote about your chance to enjoy free Internet radio:

material you might like. They all do it by harnessing the technological forces
of social networking, data mining and music analysis, though each uses a
slightly different technique.
