Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:15:00 GMT

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:08:39 GMT

“We’re approaching a pull-the-plug kind of decision,” said Tim Westergren, who founded Pandora. “This is like a last stand for webcasting.” I’m not one to normally editorialize much; however it seems like something that actually made sense, will probably be looking at closing it’s doors due to licensing fees.

Pandora, pop culture and philanthropy (Philanthropy 2173)

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 23:49:00 GMT

Is there such a thing as a philanthropic phenotype? I've been listening to Pandora a lot lately.

An anonymous commenter recommended Pandora.com , and the recommendation was seconded by Chris, the criminally under-appreciated...
