Popular Internet radio company Pandora is celebrating its fifth year of public availability this week and is still going strong! The service, which creates Internet-based "radio" stations based around listeners' favorite bands and songs is adding a new way to discover music: genre-based stations. Check out all the details when you read on. Read more
If your mom dabbles in tech (mostly to get around faster, to stay connected with friends and family, and to surf her favorite blogs) but still likes her gadgets to look clean, then she's a lady after my own heart. Getting your mom to gravitate toward new gadgets can be a great way for her to use the latest streamlined technology to stay informed and have fun. Here's how I'd wire the geek chic mom Read more
If you're a Pandora fan who streams the service at home, at work, and on your phone, then I'm about to make your day: Pandora is partnering with Pioneer to bring the streaming service to your car. In March, Pioneer will begin selling a new device, dubbed the AVIC-920BT, providing navigation and entertainment tools, which can link up with your iPhone or iPod Touch and transfer your Pandora Read more
Staying connected to your online social life is important, but so is sitting back and relaxing with a few tunes. Put these two things together, and you have the perfect way to stay updated and learn about some great new music. Which brings me to Pure's new line of Internet radios with Facebook and Twitter integration. Not only can you find your new musical obsession through Pure's online music Read more
If you recall, I'm a big fan of the Seattle-based KEXP radio station (you know, the one with DJs who actually pick their own playlists), and you can often find me at my desk with my headphones on, rocking out. Although I can sometimes catch KEXP on Ootunes (which in itself is a great app but a big battery drainer), I was ever so happy when I discovered that KEXP has its very own iPhone app now! Read more
Although I don't listen to the radio much, I like to keep up on what the kids are listening to these days. After finding a ton of radio tuners in the App Store, I finally settled on one of these six tuners to install on my iPhone so I can rock out to the top 40 (or listen to some good talk radio) wherever I happen to be. Check out my faves in this slideshow. Read more
I already showed you a hot retro-modern Vers Internet radio alarm clock earlier this week (which I'm still kind of obsessing over), but the equally awesome iLuv INT170 satisfies my need for something futuristic and sleek. The INT170 comes with all the same bells and whistles I liked in the Vers: Access to thousands of online radio stations via its WiFi connectivity, FM tuner, alarm clock, and an Read more
Not only am I obsessed with online music sites like Pandora, but I also like to stream my favorite radio stations from various parts of the country. I feel like it gives me a real insight about what new music is out there. My computer is totally convenient, since I can do both from anywhere, but I think the NetWorks Radio is a very cool alternative . . . if you have a "few" extra hundred dollars Read more
I have a lot of friends who are distraught about the news that Pandora may be going under due to overwhelming royalty fees. The popular Internet radio service doesn't just stream music online, but becomes attuned to your listening habits and creates customized stations for you. I love Pandora for an alternative to my own music library, so I'd be disappointed to see it disappear however many Read more
Sometimes we just need a break! OnSugar blogger Everyday Baby Steps shares free and inexpensive ways to treat yourself. The other day I wrote about how my new hairstyle has improved my outlook. I also mentioned that I'm fortunate enough to blog for a wonderful local hair salon, and I'm able to trade my writing services for hair and beauty treatments. It's an awesome exchange! Even if you're Read more
