The new iTunes is ... Pandora In an office in Oakland, California, rows of musicians sit wearing headphones and making entries on computer screens. They are working on the most comprehensive analysis of music ever seen: the Music Genome Project. In every song, they study hundreds of musical details such as melody, rhythm and lyrics. The point of it all is Pandora, a website that invites users to type in a favourite song or artist, then finds songs with a 'genetic match' and plays them like a radio station. The service is free, supported by advertising, and has four million listeners. Pandora.com The new Google is ... Powerset Barney Pell is pursuing the dream of a 'natural language' search engine. He says that today's products, such as Google, search only for keywords and cannot, for example, distinguish between 'book for children', 'book by children', and 'book about children'. But a natural language search could identify 'function' words, understand that word order means something and respect the importance of small 'stop words'. Pell, 38, believes Powerset's search engine, soon to be launched, will be a catalyst for the 'semantic web'.
