Jango Reaches 1 Million Listeners within 2 Months of Launch
Social Radio Newcomer Jango To Accelerate Growth With Groundbreaking
Widget For MySpace and Personal Blogs
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) January 15, 2008 --
Jango (www.jango.com),
the fast-growing new social music site, today announced that more than 1
million listeners have created over 3 million custom Internet radio
stations – within just two months of its
public launch. This rapid growth separates Jango from the crowded field
of emerging social music companies – putting
it on a clear path towards the first tier market leaders. According to
Compete.com, Jango already had 423,000 unique US visitors in December,
compared to 990,000 for Last.fm and 1,596,000 for Pandora.
Jango combines music and social networking by enabling listeners to not
only create their own custom stations - but also tune in to each other’s
stations in a fun and easy way. Its unique “social
music player” lets you actually see who’s
listening to the same artists at the same time as you, who’s
tuning in to your stations, and what music your friends are playing. At
any time, you can tune in and listen to any station.
“We’re thrilled at
how popular the site has become – and how
quickly,” said Jango CEO Dan Kaufman. “People
love that it’s so easy to get the music they
want – and how natural Jango makes it to
socialize through music. Our users tune in to each other all the time
and it’s incredible how much social
interaction goes on.”
To accelerate this momentum, the company just released the Jango
Jukebox, an innovative music widget that can be embedded on any
MySpace profile, personal blog, or website. The viral spread of widgets
on MySpace and Facebook has been a key driver of growth for music sites
such as iMeem, iLike and Last.fm. The Jango Jukebox –
with its elaborate design and playful animation –
seeks to appeal even more to users wanting to decorate their profile
pages with eye-catching, self-expressive content. Designed around a
captivating, interactive filmstrip of scrolling artist images, the Jango
Jukebox continuously streams free, full-length songs from any artists
you choose. You can also dress up your Jango Jukebox in a variety of fun
skins, like leopard fur, blue jeans, camouflage, tie-dye, basketball
rubber, snakeskin, and more.
“Until now, music widgets have been
surprisingly drab and boring. The Jango Jukebox is the first music
widget that’s really cool looking and fun to
use – perfect for anyone who wants to spice
up their MySpace page,” continued Kaufman.
Now you can get your own Jukebox at http://jukebox.jango.com.
A Facebook version of the Jango Jukebox is coming soon.
