Pandora Adding 100,000 New Mobile Users Every Day.


If I was in the radio business I'd be scared shitless. If I was selling CDs, I'd be losing sleep at night. Pandora is a wonderful service. It's a wonderful FREE service. Alllaccess.com is reporting that Pandora CEO Tim Westergren told a press conference last week that the company is currently activating 100,000 new users every day on mobile devices. Now Pandora is pushing ahead, looking to work with auto manufacturers to make the service available in the dashboards of new vehicles. Is it the end of the world as we know it? There will always be a place for local radio, but with Pandora's formula of targeting listeners with the music that they want to hear, radio's slice of the pizza may shrink.
