More Cowbell allows one to add cowbell, and Christopher Walken, to any song. It is powered by EchoNest, which is an automated service for categorizing music. This is a competitor to Pandora, whose major disadvantage is that it requires large amounts of time (I once heard an hour) by an expert to categorize a single song. Why you ask, because they have over a hundred aspects to assess, sometimes as many as two hundred. So if EchoNest really is as good as Pandora then they will have a huge advantage going forward. Plus, now you can have more cowbell.
Hacker Turned VC Can a hacker go to the darkside?
About Lucas Nelson (me)
I’m a Partner at Lytical Ventures, an NYC based venture fund focused on Corporate Intelligence including cybersecurity, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. I’m also a Kauffman Fellow and world ranked pinball player.
I’m most excited by companies that are trying to make a dent in the universe.
In the past, I co-authored The Art of Software Security Testing, chaired DefCon – the largest hacking convention in the US – for 10 years, and have been actively involved in the NY tech community since 1999.
I collect pinball machines, am a proud father, and I still manage to code a bit now and then.
