MySpace Buys and Then Takes Down Imeem

Posted by kdawson on from the do-what-i-meem dept.

Conchobair was one of several users letting us know that Myspace has snapped up free music streaming site imeem. Visitors to the imeem site are being sent to a MySpace redirect page, which states that they are "working to migrate your imeem playlist to MySpace Music." Currently there is no way to access imeem music or playlists or to make use of imeem apps on Android or iPhone. The AP reports that the deal was done for less than $1M — not bad for 16M subscribers — noting that the music startup was running out of cash. PC Mag notes: "Last week it was announced that Apple had purchased Lala, and now MySpace snaps up imeem. Are Pandora and Rhapsody next?"

    So what you're saying is that it looks big to you? That comment carry water with your girlfriend? I always go with "it's not the size of your axe, it's how you swing it" but whatever works for you.

    (I had another reply written, but it's still Tuesday where I am. Suffice it to say that 5400 songs ain't much. 500 albums? Puh-leeze.)

    I'm bored, and wasn't up for another hour of the Leonard Maltin Game (seriously, played for an hour or so each of the past two nights). You made a simple, silly statement, and I chose to pick at it.
