New: Pandora Adds Classical Music; How to Review the Criteria for Every Track in Pandora Database

One of our favorite services, Pandora, has added classical music to the service.

Pandora is not only nirvana for music geeks to find new or undiscovered music tracks, performers, composers, etc. It also shows the usefulness and usability of professionally created metadata. Professionals (musicians, professors, etc.) review each track for over 400 criteria. More about that here. Example.

From the announcement:

Since we launched Pandora 2 years ago, our most common request from listeners has been that we add Classical music. We're excited to announce that Classical music is now available on Pandora. Enjoy, and please let us know if you have any feedback. The Classical Genome is a work in progress and we'd love to hear any of your suggestions on how to improve it.

If you're new to Classical music, here are a few stations we created to help you get started:

* Symphonic, Classical Period:
* Symphonic, Romantic Period:
* Piano Concerti, Classical Period
* Opera, Romantic Period:
* Chamber, Baroque Period

Alternatively, you can create a station by typing in the name of your favorite composer on the Pandora home page.

See Also: Pandora Can Also Serve as an Excellent Music Research Tool. Use this search box (also found at the top of most pages). For example: a searches for:

+ (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones vs. Devo version.

+ Symphony No. 9 In D Minor ("Choral"), Op. 125: I. Allegro Ma Non Troppo by Beethoven

+ Good Times by Chic

Each entry shows artist info and the criteria that has been assigned to the track. More about Pandora very soon.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
