- Pandora is getting closer and closer to my preferences in my Donnie McClurkin station. For instance, by loggging today, i got "Great and Mighty is our God" by Donnie McClurkin. I decided to perfect my Psalms station, the first song was "Peace,Love & Understanding" by Robben Ford; this song don't reflect my prefences. My next suggestion was "Can't give up now" by Mary Mary, since i added this artist in this station, i think Pandora picked it up from my profile whick is ok. My next song was "Purify" by Cece Winans.
- Pandora provides listeners with an option "Quick mix" where different stations can be mixed. Listeners can also chose music genre. It also recognizes stations based on their music genre they contain. Curiously, Pandora recognizes my Donnie McClurkin and Psalms stations as rock station. This is not true for my Donnie McClurkin, 'cause in this station i mostly flagged and liked songs related to Donnie McClurkin (is Donnie music rock?). For the Psalms station, Pandora randomnly flshes my rock and folk music though i'm trying to input as much as i can my preferences.

Week - 9 Resource
In this article , writer jemina Kiss argued that the speculated Web 3.0 will be about personalization. The site held a constest asking readers for their web 3.0 definitions, the favorite definition came from Robert O'Brien, Web 3.0 is defined as "decentralized asynchronous me". With the promise of semantic web, machines understand things in human terms, and can apply that knowledge to your attention data. The result we'll have a web that knows what we want and when we want it. So it is all about personalization and recommendation. Just a speculation from Jemina !!!!!! What's your idea ......

Week 8 - Resource
PRES is a recommender system that recommends links (hyperlinks) based on content-based filtering. A content-based filtering system selects items based on the correlation between the content of the items and the user’s preferences. PRES makes recommendations by
comparing a user profile with the content of each document in the collection. Term weights of document can be determined by using the tf-idf scheme. The user profile is represented with the same terms and built up by analyzing the content of documents that the user found interesting. Finally similarity measures (cosine) are used to measure how similar is a document to user profile and those (links) unred are recommended to the user.

Week - 8 Pandora
- Pandora started my session by playing “Church medley” by Donnie McClurkin and when I clicked “Now playing” section in the bottom of the page, a short biography of the singer is described. From the section, Pandora also lists similar artists related to Donnie McClurkin. Next “Perfect Peace” by Marvin Sapp was played, curiously “similar artists” list of this singer is closely related to that of Donnie McClurkin. From this observation, we can deduce that Pandora is playing from similar artists to Donnie McClurkin.
- “What is new” section presents new products in Pandora store. Pandora mobile allows you to listen to your music stations or create new ones from your mobile device (cell phone). Pandora in the Home partnered with the leading makers of home digital music systems to provide the full Pandora listening experience without the need for a PC to even be turned on.
- Pandora got a little close to my desires for my Donnie McClurkin station that I almost enjoy every song (NO NEED to track songs). With Pandora also you can choose stations by genre. It will provide you different music genre with their subcategories that you can choose from.
- “Pandora Presents” section announces festivals, events, or activities conducted by Pandora team. On march 28, Pandora will hold Great venues : SXSW, part 1 event to present and promote young bands.

Week - 7 Pandora
- "Trouble ain't" by Mary Mary was playing on my login. The song was nice and i liked it. I was a little curious to know about what Pandora is doing and clicked "Your Profile" tab. In the middle frame, there is a page section "About me", here Pandora gives an option to write something about myself. Below comes "Bookmarked songs" page section, here i can store songs that i heard on Pandora. Next comes "Bookmarked Artists" section where i can store artists that i heard on Pandora.
- On the right panel, "Bookmarked People" to store other listeners that i found on Pandora. I can add people by providing their emails to the textbox.
- Curiously, Pandora stopped play weird song that i didn't like and played songs that somehow i liked. Now, "Broken but i'm healed" by Byron Cage was aired live and the song was enjoyeable. "Be blessed" by Yolanda Adams, "You are" by Kirk Franklin were proposed to me and i really enjoyed them all.
- Sudently Pandora started weird songs that i didn't like before. For instace "Legion of deads", "Are you sure" (especially i remeber not to like this song and notified Pandora). Interesting !!!!!

Week - 7 Pandora
- Pandora played “All I need” by Cece Winans, a song that I already rated as favorite. But my purpose today is to better my Psalms station, since it is not detecting my tastes. I will more interact and feedback with this station till it will hit one of my likes.
- “River is waiting” by John Forgety played and it flagged it as “disliked it”. Next I got “What a man” by Soul summit, I didn’t like. I noticed that Pandora was not even coming close to my likes range; I decided to add more music types to this station.
- Using Pandora “Add more music to this station”, I added Mary Mary singers in my station’s list. Pandora directly detected the changes and played “My desire” by Kirk Franklin (although I don’t like him very much), music type that this station was not able to play a while ago.
- Next “Good to me” by Mary Mary was played, Pandora got closer to my choices. My real desire is to test Pandora if it would be able to pick Don Moen, Donnie McClurkin from this station without explicitly entering them in my list but from my choices.
