1. Pandora Internet Radio

2. Brief Overview and Link
● Pandora Internet Radio is just as it sounds
a free internet radio site where you pick a
song or band and it will create a radio
station with similar artists for free.
● http://www.pandora.com/

3. Creator And Brief History
● Pandora was created by a group called
Savage Beast Technologies which was
founded by Will Glaser, John Kraft and Tim
Westergarten
● They first created an unsuccessful internet
radio station, but reformed and became
Pandora Media and put out Pandora Radio
and now have over 30 million listeners.

4. Mission Statement
● Pandora's Mission statement is "to enrich
people’s lives by enabling them to enjoy
music they know and discover music they’ll
love, anytime, anywhere.

5. Purpose Of The Company
● The purpose of Pandora is for people to
have a place where they can find similar
music to the things they listen to. They can
discover new songs or new bands all for
free.
● Pandora is a place where people can go to
listen to music for free legally and safely.

6. Pandora At Home and In Business
● At home Pandora can be used as a radio
for a party or to help you relax. It can be
used anytime you need at home.
● Pandora is used in businesses because of
the ads. If you are not a paying member of
Pandora you will receive advertisements
every couple songs. This can be good for
businesses if you get an ad on Pandora.

7. Pandora Making Money
● Pandora can be a free radio station. In this
case the way they make money is through
advertisements. As I said every few songs
before you get to keep listening you will
have to listen to or watch an
advertisement.
● If you wish to have no advertisements you
can buy a premium Pandora account in
which you do not have to listen to ads and
get all of your music without them.

8. Similar Companies
● Spotify is
essentially the
same thing as
Pandora. Spotify is
an internet radio
that has ads and
can be uprgraded
to a premium
account if you wish,
but also offers free
accounts with ads.
