Pandora.com is probably one of my favorite new sites. Its a free internet radio site. The design aspect pf it is very simple, using light blues and white, with simple typeface. Even though it is a music site, it is a site for all music, so keeping the design simple works for all genres and all music lovers. When you get to the homepage you do need to create an account. It simple to start an account. Its easy to navigate because the buttons read what they mean (i.e. your profile, about this music, create a New station). It also has little pop up tabs that give you suggestions, like did you know you can do yadayadayada. How the site works is you create a new station, then you are asked to type in the name of an artist or song. Then they play a song by that artist. Then songs by that artist and similar artists are played. If you like the song you can give it a thumbs up and more of that artists will be played. There's also a thumbs down to do the opposite. Also each song that is played has a menu that gives you options that you can choose starting that you are tired of it, to move it to another station, Information on why the song was selected, there's an option to bookmark it and an option to buy it, the buy option directs you to itunes or amazon, you can choose this. I am so happy this site was introduced to me.
