Pandora Has a Monetization Problem That Streaming Hybrid Jelli Cleverly Solves
Yes, it's incredible that Pandora has grabbed more than 4 percent (by Pandora's metrics) of terrestrial radio listening. But that took 12 years, and even with listening hours growing each quarter, the company doesn't have enough advertisers on board to turn a profit. Because of that, it is in a desperate fight to draw ad dollars from traditional radio. As of now, the score is approximately $17 billion (broadcast radio) to $800 million (Internet radio).

Jelli Takes Its Interactive Radio Stations Mobile
Jelli, a startup that's a mix between Pandora and Digg (with old-school terrestrial radio stations thrown in), has gone mobile: the company has just launched a native iPhone application. Now, this wouldn't be especially interesting news (who doesn't have an iPhone app these days?), but it fills in one major gap in Jelli's functionality. Because while the service has been around for a while, there's never been a good way to use Jelli on the go — and, as the folks over at Pandora can tell you, that mobile experience is key when it comes to streaming music. You can download the new iPhone app right here.
