Last.FM now part of CBS

Posted by Marty on May 31st, 2007

I am always interested in what happens in media. Last.FM was just picked up by CBS.

CBS CORP. is buying Internet customized radio streamer and social networking site LAST.FM for $280 million. The UK-based site says that it has over 15 million users worldwide and over 4 million in the U.S.

CBS CEO LES MOONVES calls LAST.FM “one of the most well-established, fastest-growing online community networks out there. Their demographics also play perfectly to CBS’s goal to attract younger viewers and listeners.” The site allows listeners to select favorite artists and hear streams tailored to their tastes, and allows users to share their playlist information with others.

LAST.FM’s management will remain in place, and the site will retain its separate identity, although it may incorporate other CBS radio programming.

Just what I need another way to turn off Katie Couric.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were interviewed together yesterday. They had some laughs and kept it lite until Jobs ripped his shirt off and challenged Gates to a cage match where he promised he would “Scramble your (Gates) hard drive!”

Is it me or is anyone else tired of seeing PC’s getting beat down by Macs?
