New York, NY (April 22, 2008)
Panther Express
(http://www.pantherexpress.net) ,
a leading global provider of
high-performance content delivery services,
today announced they have been selected to
provide rich media and audio delivery
services for Jango.com (http://www.jango.com),
a fast-growing new social music site which
has quickly become one of the world's most
popular destination sites for listening to
music and connecting with others who share
similar tastes.
Dedicated to making online music easy, fun,
and social, Jango is a free service that
lets listeners create their own custom radio
stations and share them with friends and
others. Listeners just type in their
favorite artists - and then their personal
station will play the music they want, along
with favorites of other Jango users who
share similar tastes. And only on Jango can
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. With just a
single click, you can tune in and listen -
at any time - to any song playing on the
more than 10 million stations created by the
Jango social music community.
Jango is exploding in popularity in the five
months since its public launch - with over
2.5 million monthly unique visitors tuning
in, sharing music, discovering new artists
and interacting with other users. Jango
selected Panther Express because it could
provide the best value solution to deliver
their challenging rich media - both graphics
and audio - required for a Web 2.0 social
networking site based upon smooth, clean
delivery of uninterrupted online music.
"Our audience demands the best - they want
fast performance and responsiveness at all
hours of the day and night," said Dan
Kaufman, CEO of Jango. "If our social
community applications don't work or if
music skips or sounds distorted, our
discerning and technically savvy members
will go elsewhere for their music. To keep
them happy, we have been using Panther
Express for several months now and we, both
management and tech staff, have been very
impressed by the exceptional performance,
support and reliability. Not only does
Panther's network architecture technically
scale to meet our needs, but their service
offering fits within the budget of a growing
start up."
"Jango is one of the hottest and most
interesting Web 2.0 destinations on the web
? it combines two things we love - music and
social networking," said Kevin Ryan, CEO of
Panther Express. "They had their pick of
CDNs, but ultimately chose Panther to
partner with. We are very proud that Jango
has recognized Panther Express's expertise
in delivering rich media ? and we look
forward to supporting their efforts to
continually bring new and better user
experiences to the social music landscape."
