Sheesh, you turn your back for a few days well-deserved r’n'r and suddenly a giant American corporation goes and snaffles your preferred music service. When I read the news on my return, I’ll confess my heart sank a little. Last.fm’s my little secret (that I happen to share with only 20 million other subscribers). Why would they want to go and sell out to CBS? The answer’s obvious and detailed on Last.fm’s recently initiated blog. I hope they’re treated with as much of a hands off approach as Yahoo! have done with del.icio.us. I wish them a hearty best of luck and will now return to daydreaming that I’d had such a brilliant idea. Sigh.
