So pandora is a popular site for listening to music.  only problem is you can’t exactly choose your songs.

on grooveshark.com you can listen to whatever you want as much as you want.  and you don’t have to have an account, so it’s free.

on stereomood.com you choose what kind of mood your in, and then it plays a list of songs that match up to how you said you were feeling.

both of these services are pretty cool to use, especially if you spend alot of time on you computer and love to listen to new music.

Persecution.org is a website where you can learn more about christians around the globe who are being persecuted for their beliefs.

I’ve been doing some research on Creative Commons and found some remarkable things.  Wikipedia is one of the websites that has licensing through creative commons.   Wikipedia is designed to be edited by anyone so it naturally needs a flexible copyright and legal structure.

But creative commons has had it’s share of problems too.   legal cases disputing rights have provided temporary set backs.

Nonetheless.   Creative Commons is in perfect position to continue  pioneering the new revolution in intellectual property and copyrights in the web 2.0 world.

Creative Commons is on the edge of the web 2.0 revolution.  As more and more people create original content on the web, their has been confusion on copy rights.  As defined by law, any original work is automically protected and controlled by the creator.  But what happens when the creator wants to share his work with others and open it for collaboration?  Creative Commons makes this process as simple as brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush.   Creative Commons asks the person who created the work what they would like to keep private and what they would like to share with others.  It’s the perfect platform to share your work, or to look for works to collaborate on.
