Is Slacker the new Pandora?

Is Pandora out and Slacker in?

For those of you who don't know the awesome power of Pandora, check it out. If you like music and the Internet and want to merge the two, Pandora is the solution. Type in your favorite artist and Pandora creates a radio station based on your choice. It will most likely be lesser known songs from that artist and then other artists who sound similar will follow. That means if you type in Motley Crue you will get Ratt, KISS, Poison, Twisted Sister, Motorhead...etc. If the service veers off to an artist that doesn't belong you can give it a thumbs down and it won't play again. Thumb up your favorite songs and they will be put into heavy rotation. The music sound quality is good too.

Now the media is buzzing about Slacker. Looks like Slacker is a Pandora with a music device attached. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
