1. Imeem

   The online service imeem was a social media website where users interacted with each other by streaming, uploading and sharing music and music videos. It operated from 2003 until 2009 when it was shut down after being acquired by MySpace. The company was founded in 2003 by Dalton Caldwell (formerly of VA Linux) and Jan Jannink (formerly of Napster), and many of its core engineering team came from the original Napster file-sharing service.

Helping to pioneer the free, advertising-supported model for online music, imeem permitted consumers to legally upload, stream and share music and music playlists for free with the costs supported by advertising. In 2007, imeem became the first-ever online music site to secure licenses from all four U.S. major music labels to offer their music catalogs for free streaming and sharing on the web.The company also created the web's first embeddable music and video playlists. People could use imeem's widgets to embed songs and playlists from imeem virtually anywhere on the web, including on their MySpace and Facebook profiles or on their personal blogs.

1. imeem

   imeem is an online music service that gives fans instant access to almost any song they want, for free. The company, founded in 2003 by Dalton Caldwell, takes its name from “meme” - a term coined to describe the ideas that communities, adopt, and express.imeem started as an instant messaging service that let people communicate through chat, blogging, instant messaging and sharing files. This model didn’t pan out, and in 2006, the company reinvented itself as a social networking site that let people discover, play and share music, music videos, and photos. In September 2006, imeem introduced embeddable flash playlists that gave people the ability to take music and video playlists they created (or found) on the site and embed them virtually anywhere on the web. imeem™s players quickly became popular with consumers using MySpace and other social networks, giving them a way to customize & personalize their profiles with music. imeem pioneered the ad-supported streaming music model. In 2007, the company became the first-ever online music site to secure licenses from all 4 major music labels (and thousands of indie labels and artists) to offer their music catalogues for free streaming and sharing on the web.Under this model, artists and labels are paid a share of the imeem™s ad revenue in proportion to the popularity of their music on imeem, and have the right to register their content and determine how (or whether) that content is available on the site or through its embeddable widgets.This business model is made possible by imeem’s proprietary content fingerprinting and digital registry technology. Initially, imeem licensed this technology from SNOCAP, the digital rights and content management startup founded by Napster creator Shawn Fanning. In 2008, imeem acquired SNOCAP and its technology outright; as part of this acquisition, SNOCAP’s COO, Ali Aydar, joined imeem’s executive team.In December 2009, imeem was acquired by MySpace for $1 million.
