“I'm torn between Pandora and Last.fm. Both are great music services. I've discovered a lot of great music I have never heard of using these sites, especially Last.fm. I love the tag feature, where you can type in a tag and so many different songs pop up. :)”
Last.fm has some cool features that I like. But would not play Motley Crue (umlauts included) at all when selected by artist. Pandora's algorithm seems to play more of what I like best. - ☺ KevyKev ☺
here in Europe the choice is simple, only last.fm is available here. - Baard Overgaard Hansen

Kaupthing Bank is a Northern European bank. In Norway their main target group is people with a more than average amount of money. When they place their money in a savings account at Kaupthing Bank, they'll get a high interest rate. Since our group has a special interest of money, TBWA/OSLO (ad agency) created ads using the motives from the Norwegian bank notes. These motives are famous historic Norwegians. In the portraits on the bank notes, they all have a serious face, and they're not smiling. In the Kaupthing Bank campaign, however, their expression is different. After all, Kaupthing Bank offers great benefits for everyone who has to do with money. It's subtle, but the target group gets it. http://adsoftheworld.com - Cee Bee

I guess it's true, everyone's done with Digg. LOL - Sarah Perez
LOL. Well, a) you already added me and b) it's less about getting great content than it is working the politics there. I'm a complete fail at working the Digg politics, so I never really use it. I'll respond to shouts and that's about all I use it for. - Cyndy
@Cyndy: I like to see what my friends are digging, because we all have very similar interests and I respond to shouts, too, but yeah, the whole political system there is insane. - Sarah Perez
