Pandora and OpenLaszlo

"Our just-now-launched music discovery service, Pandora, is an 
OpenLaszlo application. It wouldn't be fair to finish up our launch 
without a tip of the hat to the amazing Laszlo team and open source 
community.

Eight months ago when we sat down to figure out how were were going to 
deliver a compelling zero-install discovery and listening experience 
across Windows, Mac, and Linux in record time we considered everything 
you can imagine: plain old HTML, AJAX, Flex, OpenLaszlo to name just a 
few. In the end, Laszlo was the clear winner on all fronts. Mature, 
reliable, and the perfect tool for the job. This outcome was only 
remarkable in that the decision was made by some of the most capable 
AJAX developers on the planet. I'll have more to say about Laszlo in 
another post, but for now I just want to publicly say thanks to the 
great team at Lazslo. Pandora wouldn't be Pandora without you."

If you haven't heard of Pandora yet, Robert Scoble of Microsoft reported 
on it here:

"Pandora is definitely the talk of the Barcamp, though, and was the talk 
of the midnight dinner last night."


Let's thank Tom for his support of OpenLaszlo. Check out Pandora's new 
service. Spread the good word.
