If this is MySpace’s idea of how to run a successful music tech company, they have truly lost their way. Imeem was leagues ahead of their competition (MySpace, iLike, and Lala) in terms of technology and openness. They represented the music business of the future. Now they are a forced hyperlink to a cold, un-innovative, MySpace landing page (http://myspace.com/imeem) making false promises and giving no guidance or help for the developer community they just destroyed.
How To Kill Your Developer Community aka This Is What Happens When MySpace Buys You.
Make sure to read Lee’s entire rant. He created Twt.fm which was basically killed when MySpace ‘integrated’ Imeem yesterday. The same will probably happen to Blip.fm which for a big part relies on the Imeem API as well.
This is another proof for MySpace’s inability to leverage value-providing technology for its user base. Plus, this is a big Fail in terms of community management. Boo!
