Ask HN: Review my startup, HipHopGoblin.com (Pandora + HypeM + Hip Hop)
It's been impossible for me to find a job, as per this thread: [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=754426]. ctb9 and I started emailing, and he encouraged me to work on a project, so I pursued one of my ideas and made a Hype Machine/Pandora tool for the newest songs in Hip Hop. It took me a week to build this prototype.
It is built in Flash/ActionScript, PHP, and MySQL. I use PHP to parse blogs and then download files, which took some engineering. It uses item-based collaborative-filtering techniques for music recommendation. Music storage is on Amazon S3.

I hope you like it.
