MySpace Continues To Get Trashed Over Imeem Shutdown

It's been nearly a week since MySpace Music closed its acquisition of some of the assets of music service Imeem and redirected imeem.com to music.myspace.com. MySpace took a lot of heat for the sudden shutdown of the Imeem service, particularly the API . But the fact is that MySpace didn't shut the Imeem service down. Imeem's creditors and the music labels did. If MySpace hadn't done the deal Imeem would have shut down anyway. The company was just out of cash and options, and the wheels had come off the car. For the most part the press now gets that MySpace had very little to do with the shutdown, and has settled down. Imeem's 16 million monthly visitors apparently haven't gotten the message, though, and every couple of minutes one of them fires off a frustrated message on Twitter. One example just a few minutes ago, in the image above: "Imeem, one of the best music sites, died, destroyed by MySpace." Another : "RIP imeem, I will dearly miss you...All the more reason to hate myspace. They sold out on Dec. 8th." Users are particularly upset about losing their playlists, something MySpace has said they'd work hard to transition "as quickly as possible."
