Another Pandora Article
I read another article about Pandora that I found very interesting. While it touched on some similar subjects as the previous one from class, it also added some other very interesting information. For instance, Pandora will be available in the newer model Fords, and even some other car devices. Also, new TVs, Blue-Ray DVD players, and other devices will have access to Pandora. What is most interesting to me is that this past quarter was the first time Pandora recorded profit, which was around $40 million Dollars (Grahm, 2010). This is insane to me just because they have been around for years, not to mention the years they were developing the project, and this was the first time they actually made a profit. Since the iPhone came out, Pandora's clientele has grown exponentially. I don't know anyone who owns an iPhone and doesn't have the Pandora app. This is a great online and mobile service that will only keep showing up in new gadgets. It's impressive to me that the founder had so much trouble to find someone to fund this project, but made it happen and is now turning out profit of millions of dollars. touché sir.

This is great. I did hear something about the Ford cars getting Pandora too. I have Pandora on my computer, and I just recently downloaded the app on my phone. I love that it provides me with so much music (old and new).
ReplyDeleteThat is really amazing. Next I think we will just have Pandora implanted into our brains ... I have it on my iTouch as well... although i dont use it very often. okay, i have nothing insightful to say. sorry
