Pandora has some great runs, but its algorithm needs work and its library is puny. I keep getting THE DOORS, for example. I let Pandora know I don’t like THE DOORS, yet Pandora continues to play them over and over. Why?

Furthermore, Pandora also seems to have a nasty habit of replaying songs I do favor disturbingly often. In fact, I’m now afraid to give my preferred songs a THUMBS UP, because I fear that will just give Pandora license to REPLAY that song repeatedly until I ultimately forced to give up and vote it down. Yes! there I am, voting down a song I like! That surely can’t be good for the algorithm.

Wow I thought these guys were going out? Well hope they make it as its a nice prod. Counter to the panic layoffs this week Mocospace is actively hiring! We need 3-4 key positions filled fast. Are these other guys running fat until now? What is the context?
