Last week I had the chance to talk with Dan Porras, founder and Editor-In-Chief of Planetwize. I asked him about what Planetwize does, why and how they do it, and his thoughts on the online music industry. I'll let him tell the story of Planetwize- a great company with a great website!
What is your mission with Planetwize?
Our mission at Planetwize is to turn music lovers into activists. We want to make it easy for both bands and fans to leverage music to create positive change. To buy an album on Planetwize.com, you have to learn about the cause which that particular album supports. Education is also a big part of our mission: we want to spread awareness of the people and organizations that are working to bring about sustainable development.
