Becomes Web’s Fastest-Growing Music Service
SEATTLE – June 11, 2007 – iLike, inc is now the Web’s fastest-growing
music service, with over six million registered users and adding a million more
every few days.
iLike’s website (www.iLike.com) has registered over three
million users since launching in October 2006, and is now adding about one
million more per month. This growth has
been recently augmented by the explosive success of the company’s new
application for Facebook®, signing three million new users since launching just
over two weeks ago.
iLike launched a comprehensive
music app on Facebook Platform and debuted as the most popular application built
by another company for the site. The iLike application allows Facebook users
to:
- Learn when their favorite artists are going on tour and see who else is attending.
- Search and add streaming music and music videos to their Facebook profile.
- Discover new music via personalized recommendations of free MP3s.
“iLike is on track to becoming the
dominant music service for the Facebook community,” said Ali Partovi, CEO of

and we’re transforming our business to focus on it.”
