Last.fm, imeem, Pandora, and maybe a couple of other sites with music content will make it, but how many more can there be? Plus you have Youtube, Myspace, Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, Apple etc. all of which have a lot of music content to browse through. Where is there room in on-line music for anything else right now?

He created his own open network that he called "Gnutella2" and brought numerous innovations to p2p search. It's sad to hear the company didn't make it afterall.

There you would have a legitamate loss. I would love to hear more common sense commentary about the bubble some internet companies are in. WeDontNeedAnotherWebsite.com - we have enough to work with. I wish TC would be more upfront and warn the others that there is not alot of light for any startup competing in the space. We are at an apex of innovation. We need integration.
