Pandora Hits 100 Million User Mark.

Pandora Internet Radio http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
The public company Pandora just announced about it's user base hitting 100 million mark with 36 million monthly active users. Pandora lives on my phone(s) and tablets and provides me with music, when I am on a WiFi network. Also I am still grandfathered in to unlimited data from some of the carriers, allowing me to listen to music in the park. When Pandora allowed us to play music in the background (iPhone), I guess the usage increased.
In addition to the user base, company has also increased the market share from 2.3% in 2010 to 3.6% of all radio listening in the US.
I think Pandora shares are doing well to but I am no stock broker so better check Pandora stock performance that else where.
