To find inspiration for Social Times ongoing Imagine series, I only ever have to ask myself “what do I want to be doing now and why aren’t I?” If the answer involves technology, which it often does for a person like me, I find my inspiration. This week, the answer to that question was that I wanted to be able to have “a site that automatically starts playing some of my favorite tunes based on what it’s learned about my favorite music… and also integrate what my friends like into my playlist”. I was going to write a post imagining the service, but when I checked up on Pandora, I realized they’re already doing it!
