Beginning today, imeem will quickly cease to exist; with only select
remnants finding a new home within MySpace Music. As part of an
announcement making it's acquisition of imeem public, MySpace let
users know that imeem playlists will be temporarily disabled and
directed to MySpace Music.
Unlike
after its iLike acquisition, which saw its executives named to key
positions at MySpace, just four members of imeem's team have been hired
as consultants to help manage the transition: CEO Dalton Caldwell, CTO
Brian Berg, COO Ali Aydar and VP of Sales David Wade.
"In the coming weeks, our team will be
working as quickly as possible to take aspects of imeem that users love
and migrate them to MySpace Music," according to MySpace CEO Own Van
Natta. "We’ll start that transition today by redirecting imeem users to
MySpace Music to discover their favorite music. As quickly as
possible, we’ll be working to offer users the imeem playlists they’ve
created on MySpace Music.""
During this transition period," he
continued, "we invite all imeem users to check out MySpace Music’s
extensive catalogue of fully licensed music and video content from
major and indie artists, editorial coverage, concerts, and ticket
information.
