Last night, Mark Zuckerberg's status message was 'Spotify is so good.' This comes after MySpace announced it would buy iLike last week.
According to Spotify.com, the service is a new way to listen to music (similar to iLike). You download and install the program and start listening straightaway.
'There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple,' says Spotify.
Zuckerberg, the 25-year-old CEO of Facebook, had expressed an interest in iLike. His site had even given the iLike app special attention, according to TechCrunch.
But when it came down to it, MySpace's offer for the service was the sweeter fig and iLike just couldn't say no. So Zuckerberg was back out on the prowl. The rub is that Spotify is only available in Western Europe right now.
A recent BusinessWeek article says Amazon wanted iLike too. Although exact figures were never disclosed, the Wall Street Journal speculates that MySpace paid iLike $20 million. As word of the possible Facebook/Spotify deal only surfaced recently, little is known about what might come next.
