iLike Team Blog: On the iPhone... and beyond

First, apologies to those who subscribe to this blog by email (powered by Feedburner). A bug in Feedburner caused everybody to get emailed last week for no reason. Accept our apologies. :(

iLike on the iPhone
Now for the fun stuff... we just announced that iLike is now on the iPhone! Well, it's not all of iLike. We've just started doing stuff on the iPhone, we built features we think are most useful to have on-the-go, and we'll improve it over time. (See TechCrunch coverage)

To try it, visit iLike.com from your iPhone. The main features are

Music newsfeed (updates from favorite artists)
Local concert calendar.

Within the next week or so we will also add improved personalization, so you will soon be able to pick artists to hear from, or use your iLike.com or Facebook login to personalize iLike on the iPhone.

Expansion beyond Facebook to other social networks
In other news, iLike has passed 22 million registered users. Much of this growth has been due to our expansion of iLike into other social networks: Bebo.com and hi5.com. If you are a user of these social networks, check out iLike on Bebo, or iLike on hi5. Thanks to the Google OpenSocial platform we hope to soon offer iLike's popular features within Orkut and MySpace as well.

Lastly, this weeks' quote of the week comes from Maggie, talking about the joys of working at a startup vs a big corporation: "Once you go little, you can't go back". Sorry to embarrass you Maggie! :-)
