Dropping the needle: the life and death of Turntable.fm - http://www.theverge.com/2013...

"Tonight at 10PM EST, the virtual DJs at Turntable.fm will be escorted off the stage for the last time. Two and a half years after founders Billy Chasen and Seth Goldstein captivated music fans with their highly interactive approach to internet radio, they are shutting the service down to conserve their remaining venture capital and focus on a spinoff. Fans have used Turntable to create 1 million virtual DJ rooms and play more than 400 million songs — but it hasn’t made for much of a business. "The cost of running a music service has been too expensive," the founders wrote on their blog, "and we can’t outpace it with our efforts to monetize it and cut costs.""

Wasn't that the service Liza Sperling and others on FF were going crazy for?

Yeah, I already taunted Louis about it, because he was always hating on it.

I enjoyed it, and it was great for a 4th of July party, but I had to bring two laptops because they didn't let you play music unless 2 or more were in the room. It was a novelty in the end.
