MySpace Shuts Down imeem and Its App Community
For fans of imeem and other third party music services that made use of its API, the future isn’t looking too bright. Since announcing the acquisition of the struggling music startup in mid-November, MySpace has apparently seen fit to effectively shut it down completely, according to CNet. The once standalone imeem.com site and personal profiles now all point to MySpace Music, which seems like quick work considering the deal was only finalized earlier today.
The free imeem mobile app for iPhone and Android, although still technically available in the iTunes Store and Android Market respectively, is likewise non-functional until MySpace pushes out an update. It’s “disabled momentarily” until MySpace can relaunch the app with their own licenses and features — which means there’s also no telling how long it will take or what changes might accompany the new version.
MySpace’s press release says they have plans to restore access to the playlists users have created at imeem, and have added material to their FAQ to reflect that goal. You’ll need to register a MySpace account with the same email address you used to sign up with imeem, and we assume this would be valid for either new account creations or adding an email address to your existing MySpace account (we’ve inquired with MySpace for confirmation). Still, it’s cold comfort for fans of imeem who had built up a large number of playlists and spent time on their personal profiles.
I'm trying to think of why the fuck they would do this besides money, who uses MySpace besides stalkers, and preteens, and fake people using said pages as foreign language projects.
God damnit!

imeem was a great thing, I had been using it alot the past 5 months or so (I think after I saw Kenny using it on his stream actually sometime over the summer)
I'm srsly super sad about this. I keep wanting to jump on there and run some killer playlists I had saved but uh, nope cant do it.

Myspace is hands down the best social networking site of all time. Facebook is just newer so its cooler so more ppl are on it.
Myspace has music, videos, blogs, everything.
Why all the hate?

The thing that really pisses me off is that MySpace already has a music service so basically they were paid to go away. Too bad Imeem did not approach Facebook.

Facebook was originally very popular among College students wasnt it? Then it got infested by the horde.

Because even the best Myspace pages look like the deformed tween daughter of Geocities and Angelfire shat out Twilight fanfic all over my screen.
Also they killed imeem or something.

Only bad bands start out on Myspace, this is because they just want to make a quick dollar. Go listen to a real band, and learn the difference.

Start living in the REAL world, with REAL people, and REAL streets, and REAL kittens.
People use MySpace because it's free hosting, and no other reason.

myspace is absolutely horrible and is inferior to facebook in almost every single aspect
1) people use their real names on facebook
2) myspace is mostly filled with 14 year old girls taking boob pictures and uploading them
3) facebook has neat design, unlike myspace where every "customizes" until it hurts your eyes
4) myspace has copied many of facebook's features: applications, live feed: status updates, photos, etc
5) events on facebook. one of its most useful features
6) networks, groups, fans, birthdays, etc
myspace = lol
fuck myspace
