"Music discovery engine Pandora is receiving some deep social integration with Facebook, Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today at the F8 Developer Conference.\nMade possible by Facebook's new Open Graph protocol, Pandora will be able to give you station suggestions based on bands or artists you've \"liked\" on Facebook and across the web. You'll be able to see which of your friends likes similar music and check out what other music they like and have in their collections.\nThe combination of Open Graph and the new, wide-reaching \"Facebook Like\" button around the web means that \"liking\" a band on a third-party site will register with your Facebook profile, which can in turn inform your Pandora profile even while you're discovering music at other points around the web. It also tightly hooks your Pandora profile with your \"real\" social graph of friends on Facebook.\nIn the words of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, all of this allows the social networking juggernaut to build \"instantly social and personalized experiences\" thanks to this underlying level of social graph integration.\nAre you looking forward to Pandora integration with Facebook?\n[UPDATE]: Pandora has put up a blog post with more details on how the integration will work. You can check out the FAQ to find out how to take advantage of the new features \u2014 which are already live right now \u2014 including how to link up your accounts if you use a different email address to log in to Facebook and Pandora.\nIncluded in the news is a description of how your Facebook profile becomes integrated into your Pandora experience \u2014 we took some screenshots below. We had a few friends added on Pandora itself but after connecting up with Facebook, our whole friends list along with the kinds of music each person likes is hooked right into Pandora. Very cool!\n\n\n\n\nAfter connecting to Facebook, my FB avatar shows up along with some new station suggestions based on what I've already liked on my Facebook profile.\n\n\n\n\nClicking on \"Friends' Music\" now shows what all my Facebook friends like and listen to.\n\n\nFor more entertainment coverage, follow Mashable Entertainment on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
