MySpace Buys imeem, Rolls it Into MySpace Music

MySpace announced today that it has completed a deal to acquire "certain assets" of the popular social media music service imeem. imeem is now redirecting to MySpace Music. "MySpace Music and imeem share a common vision and commitment to further enabling the socialization of content across the Web," says MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta. "This deal will allow us to leverage imeem’s industry leading technology and over time, meaningfully integrate their products into the MySpace Music experience." "Since its inception in 2003, imeem has built a highly engaged music community of more than 16 million users worldwide," says Van Natta.
