Pandora is an Internet radio service made in USA. I found this service a few months ago, and since then I have been staying tuned to this free radio. It's a kind of highly developed music radio in which you can enjoy your own personalized list of music as much as possible. It's quite easy to enjoy it; all we have to do is just entering your favorite song title or artist's name. Once you did it, the system automatically choose a related songs for you one after another. While you are listening to the music, you can vote by pushing "I like it" or "I don't like it" button, and the voting is reflected to the next song. I'm not sure how the next song is selected, but the system's selection is fairly reasonable. Different from YouTube, this system seems to clear the copyright issue perfectly because it is almost the same as traditional radio services. The business model is simple. You can purchase any song by clicking Amazon or ITMS(iTunes Music Store) button if you like it. With the help of this service, I've found a lot of songs which I love but I hadn't known before. I think it's really a Long-Tail business model.
