  Record Heat •IN THE MID-2000S, amid declining revenues from slumping CD sales, the music industry was offered two possible futures. The first was created in 2006 by Daniel Ek, whose new product, Spotify, streamed music from the cloud instantly, as if the music had already been downloaded directly on your device. Users could pay a subscription price—today it's $10.99—and listen to as much music as they wanted. The second came courtesy of Radiohead, with the release of its album In Rainbows in 2007.

• Pinterest Wants to Be Your Happy Place
  Bill Ready took over as CEO of the image-based platform just over a year ago. With the rest of social media in flux, will his tack to kindness secure success? I'VE LOGGED ON TO THE SITE, AS I OFTEN have since buying my house, in search of furniture. Pinterest's recommendation systems have risen to the challenge, accurately clocking my recent saves of rugs and nightstands as signs I might be looking to furnish a bedroom. Pinterest, though, wants to go beyond showing me more of the same. It wants to inspire, as CEO Bill Ready tells me in a recent conversation. The platform pushes me to consider not only fabric swatches but also outfits and travel destinations and other things I might like, for as long as I feel like scrolling.
