MySpace Music has completed its acquisition of most of the assets of music service iMeem.
We first broke the news that MySpace was close to acquiring iMeem last month. Two days later, we reported that an agreement was signed to purchase the assets of the company for $1 million in cash.
The deal didn’t close, however, because some of the assets MySpace was going to buy (namely, servers) were actually being leased. So that had to be worked out .
But now it is official. MySpace will be... Read Full Story

A couple months ago, Wolfram Alpha launched an impressive iPhone application based on their computational knowledge engine (a fancy word for search engine predicated on math) of the same name. Unfortunately, they horribly miscalcuted what it should cost when they set the price at $50. But rather than simply lowering the price, they’re trying another trick.
As we pointed out at the time, one of the most humorous things about the app’s pricing is that the mobile version of Wolfram Alpha was... Read Full Story
Though its had an application store of its own for many months now, Palm’s webOS has really yet to flourish as a development platform. As it currently stands, webOS’ App Catalog only offers up around 400 applications. This stunted growth is largely because Palm still considers the App Catalog “beta” – thus, they’re being rather selective with what gets in.

While plenty of these new apps... Read Full Story

Is it just me? Or is this coming Black Friday just the beginning of a bunch of increasingly darker ones for media companies? “S@les are virtual, LOL for Black Friday retailers” says the headline of a New York Post story which makes it known that the Twitter feed Cheaptweet — one among many aggregating holiday deals — is spitting out 800 deals per hour. And then there are all the individual retailers using the social Web to get the word out about their holiday promos: Toys ‘R’ Us, Target... Read Full Story
It sounds so perfect: you put a “share this” button in a banner ad and suddenly even stodgy, old display media becomes social media. Pay for the impressions and get the viral effect as a bonus. It’s the future of advertising! There are just two catches to this: it’s been done before, and it’s not the future of anything. It’s a bell, a whistle, or maybe a bell and a whistle if executed well. But it’s not going to fundamentally change advertising, social media, or anything else.

While social media is among the factors contributing to the demise of traditional forms of news-gathering, fortunately it brings with it an extremely strong undertow of innovation. This trend was best exemplified recently not by anyone at the Federal Trade Commission workshop on the future of journalism, but by the Seattle Times’ decision to experiment with Google’s Wave to cover a tragic event as it unfolded: the murder of four police officers in Lakeland, Wash., and the search for the...
