Rumor alert: Employees of Project Playlist, a very popular music search engine and embeddable playlist tool, have been telling people that the company has hired a new CEO to lead it to the next stage of development. And the new CEO, they’re saying, is an ex-Facebook employee.
We haven’t been able to confirm this with the company, and we don’t know which ex-Facebook employee it might be. But it’s interesting that they’ve been in the news recently, tangled up with former Facebook Chief Revenue Officer (and Project Playlist investor) Owen Van Natta.
Is Van Natta the new Project Playlist CEO? Is there a new Project Playlist CEO? We don’t know yet, but we’re digging. But its worth pointing out that Van Natta wanted his next job to be a CEO gig, and there aren’t all that many ex-Facebookers who are qualified to lead a funded startup and who aren’t accounted for.
They have a pretty good website.
I really like Project playlist, but is this really going to change their company! They still have so many legal issues
If this is the ad-sponsored future of music, then I don’t want any part of it. MY EYES!
Also, judging form the site design, they’ve lined themselves up for a MySpace acquisition, fast.
I prefer the free access of sites like http://www.publishmymusic.com
They had a great showing at the event last night: http://www.rockstarfair.com. Hope they continue to rock on.
why is the comment on disclosure relevant to this thread????
Playlist looks pretty interesting and it is pretty clear that the future of music is discovery… not selling tracks. The majors have proven that the model of distribution and marketing of music is a market that is being deprecated faster than print media…
very very good site

hi what s’ up i love you im 14 mi name is kim i rock and you rock brat62194@gmail.com.
Sound to me like Owen is a likely choice for this and it does make some sense.
Simply by elimination it would seem that Owen could very well be the guy.
Thank You … !

Effective immediately my Myspace account will be terminated due to lack of trust with Myspace. Myspace has brought a social network into the political rink which has sucked all the fun out of the experience.
All I want is a chat network where I can have a picture and a playlist. What is so difficult about this?! 4 years ago it wise ok, but now there seems to be issues?
Any further issues, Myspace will develope harsh criticism due to the understanding of consumers and users on whats right and wrong regarding issues pertaining to rules and regulations with situations like this. And it could be the end of Myspace, for good. The user/consumer knows when they’re getting screwed!
Myspace was great 4 years ago, but that time has passed.
We are now getting screwed!
