Pandora links up with da Book
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 23 April 2010
US streaming music service Pandora has launched a new Facebook widget that enables users to share data between their accounts on the two services. It means Pandora will be able to recommend music based on the artist pages users are fans of on the social network. Pandora founder Tim Westergren blogged this week: “This quickly brings your Facebook friend list into Pandora along with your Facebook profile picture”.
But knowing how sensitive web users can be about being forced into such data-sharing, he added: “This is entirely optional. Even though we’re excited about the new dimension this adds to Pandora, we want to be very respectful of your privacy. If you don’t want to bring your Facebook world into Pandora, just opt out. It will disappear forever. Period”.
Pandora, of course, is not available to UK users, unless you’re very nifty at faking your IP address, because they have struggled to secure a PRS licence they can afford.
