After reading the good selling book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell, I decided to explore an interesting sample in the book talking about an intersting story about a pop singer, Kenna. The story told us that Kenna was ever ranked high by many professionals in music industry, however, his songs can't be accepted by common social rating system. Malcolm wanted to use this story tell us that some blink feeling from professional may not be correct.
You know, I may not got to have a try to listen to Kenna's songs if I read the book two years before. But today, I'm so ready to have a try with many new web 2.0 services including those music services. I decided to create a Channel on Pandora.com to explore why Kenna's songs can't be adopted by popular mass. Actually, I like the tunes of this guy, however, the music really can't attact me too much. Instead, it even make me somewhat depressed. The fancy Pandora service helps me to find that I don't have such appetite and eventually help me switch to more open and high emotional songs in this channel.
Pandora and Blink, has such an interesting connection that everyone can try. It's also the power of web 2.0 services, which can bring real personalized taste into a mass social filtering system. Someday, Pandora maybe the most powerful rating system in the world on any musics, to predict and do statistics.
