Day Six: TuneIn Radio, Target & San Francisco

Today was a busy day from going to explore Tunein Radio, Target and exploring downtown San Francisco. Tunein radio was a very fun and interesting trip. We learned that they are a very diverse company, in the way that they tend to work with everyone, not just a single group. The company is relatively small, being just around 100 employees. The company supports over 100k radio stations on a daily bases, which is just crazy to think about but even more impressive is the 4 million songs they have on demand. They believe, just like most of Americans, that radio is the best passive medium. Most of the work that the company does is still done through a human element, even though there are some programming codes that do the work too. Most of the revenue comes through ads, which is picking up daily. As Tunein was a great place to visit, Target was another great place as well.

Target has a very diverse group of employee and believes on a message that diversity is a great way to bring in more workers/progress. The company has won many awards for its diversity and giving back to the communities. For in the year 2014 alone, the company gave back over a billion dollars to different charities. The company very much strives on the motion that they should be giving back to the community in any way that they can. The company works on always developing newer apps that can help its customers save money and hassles with in the store. The company expresses the message that you should be willing to try new things and don’t be afraid to fail. As our tour and Q/A with Target came to an end, we would be setting off to San Francisco for the day.

San Francisco was a very unique place as it has a lot of different events happening all around, like it is almost varies what you see next. We went on a boat ride that took us close to the Golden State Bridge and Alcatraz, which was so much fun. I have never seen the Bridge and Alcatraz up close before, so this was such an amazing experience. After we got back, we would go to the gift shop, which had a variety of knick-knacks. Leaving the gift shop, my friend James and I decided to walk back, which was only about 3 miles back. We were shocked about just about how many places you see and all the different venues that you pass by.
