Pandora finally gets social sharing, via Facebook and Twitter
There's a lot to love about the Pandora streaming music service. If you put together just the right combination of musical ingredients, you've got the modern-day equivalent of the perfect mixtape. Sending your brilliant Pandora station to a friend or 2 (or 200!) just got easier, with the addition of Facebook and Twitter sharing.
Until now, the only option for sharing your streaming radio stations was email. That feature is still around, including personalized "Station Gifting," which is a bit like a Pandora e-card. Twitter and Facebook sharing work with single songs or whole stations, and they place a link (along with any comments you want to add) into your public feed. Unfortunately, you still can't use these features to share with an individual friend via direct message, so you'll have to stick to email sharing for that.

Althought it's slow, facebook has been able to auto import Pandora for a while now. Click on settings or whatever is in the top right of the wall, then add in your Pandora info.
It is slow -- some of my stuff doesnt show for 8-10 hours, but it does song / artist bookmarks and station creation. With direct links. It's a lot cleaner than a share too.

I just hope they update the desktop and iPhone app to be able to do this. Since I put in the $36 for Pandora One, I've stopped going to the website.
