I won't call Pandora a vertical search engine, otherwise

I won't call Pandora a vertical search engine, otherwise they couldn't scoop the $12mil funding.

They are more like a music platform that help independent musicans sell their music, an Itune will some intelligence. They help you to discover songs you may like (based on songs you already like) and then to purchase. They have 30 somthing full time well-trained musicians to tag or categorize all the songs, or "finding the DNA of songs" according to themselves. This business is lucrative!
