Pandora vs LastFM

by Chris Gilbey at 09:15AM (EST) on November 26, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I tried Pandora and LastFM about a year ago and for a while got pretty excited about both of them - mainly because of my ill fated venture in 2000, "Big Fat Radio". I listen to radio for talk rather than music so maybe I am not part of the target market.

Fred Wilson has some comments about both - including their audience numbers and the way that social networks are evolving.

I have used both Pandora and LastFM. LastFm seems to finding its feet still and obviously working the whole social networking room.( yawn) Pandora is awesome. A brilliant way to find new music. Unbiased and real - ( well it seemed that way anyway) With the purchase of Pandora by MSN, Pandora will now become a vehicle for record companies to push whatever artists they decide to throw money behind. It will no dount have ugly display advertising all over it and the whole point of Pandora will be lost.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey, together with others who provide consulting services via Perceptric Pty Limited, post thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Perceptric Thinkers are available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counter-intuitive insights into problems.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
