Founded by top Internet, e-commerce, digital music and network security veterans, Pando Networks offers a free, simple to use consumer application with an unprecedented underlying network architecture for rich-media content delivery. Pando's founders saw that consumers are happily generating digital media but face one remaining problem - how to share it.

Pando solves the sharing problem for people who don't have the time or desire to set up albums or online "spaces," don't want to send friends to Web sites to go fetch their files, and really just want something as simple to use as email. Now consumers can simply email their home movies, folders full of high-resolution photographs and/or heavy duty presentations to any email address, with responses going directly to Pando users' existing email accounts.

Underneath the Pando application is Pando Networks' innovative peer-to-peer architecture. Based on BitTorrent&trade protocols but re-architected with “push" capabilities (versus the “pull" paradigm of traditional distributed networks including peer-to-peer), Pando Networks takes full advantage of the platform's widely recognized file distribution efficiencies while adding essential business components.

Go ahead and download the application. You'll wonder how we made something so seemingly complex work so easily. We'd love to hear what you think.
