DISQUS

Anne Mac · 1 year ago

imeem is basicly giving users what they want, they're youtube for music.

also little known is that many of imeem's engineers came from the original napster, it looks like roxio would have been better buying more than just the Napster name.

Anne,

Good point. It's really amazing to see that innovation trumps all.
Even with these huge marketing budgets, consumers won't budge, but as
soon as you give consumers something new, innovative and that they
actually want ..and they flock to it.

My question is, why didn't Rhapsody spend that $50 million on
acquiring iMeem instead of on a marketing budget? Or perhaps pick up
any of these other startups starting to generate a ton of interest
from consumers?
