I can't believe this will be as cool as Pandora.

The company is currently talking to advertisers about the site, called <A href="http://Play.it">Play.it</A>, and says it will open it to the public in the next few months. Screen grabs from an early version of the site are <A href="http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/brandnewday/archives/2008/05/in_the_old_medi.html">after the jump</A>. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/brandnewday/archives/2008/05/in_the_old_medi.html"><P>I’m eager to check it out, but I’m also skeptical CBS can keep up with the competition. Right now, Pandora and Last.fm have deep libraries of musicians and sophisticated recommendation technology (Play.it will use its own system, called “The Brain”). New services, meanwhile, keep popping up. Just last week we heard about another one, <A href="http://Chilirec.com">Chilirec</A>, which records songs as they stream online, like a <A href="http://TiVo.com">TiVo</A> (via <A href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/24/chilirec-is-like-tivo-for-internet-radio/">TechCrunch</A>, or <A href="http://blog.go2web20.net/2008/04/record-radio-chaneels-from-internet.html">Go2Web20</A>). Who knows where we’ll be when Play.it opens months from now. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CB2DCBC1-EBFA-4041-A917-A4591F2D72FB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
