Last.fm sold

I guess many of you have heard the news about last.fm and cbs already.

I contacted the boys already but I also want to blog my gratulations to the last.fm team felix, martin, richard and stefan. great job boys. I am really happy you were able to make this such a huge success.

I guess i will write a detailed post about why and how i left last.fm as cofounder at some point soon. For the moment i want to quote Steven Jobs after he left Apple (was kicked out or whatever.. ). He said something along the lines: “I ve lost 100 million dollar last year. That is quite character building.” I could not agree more to Steven Jobs on this one ;-) A journalist asked me today if i am planing to assert a claim against Last.fm. I said to him not even in my dreams. I found peace and happiness in Vorarlberg and i wont let that go for no money and greed in this world ;-)

Jodok, Manfred and I managed to build up a very powerful team with Lovely Systems and we are working on a number of very interesting projects who have the power to become the next last.fm’s.

    Congratulations! Was surprised to hear few months ago that one of the founders of Last.fm is part of Lovely Systems. :)

    Would be interesting to see the next Last.fm being Zope 3 based. Can’t deny that’s where we are heading as well. Can’t wait till you guys release something! ;)

    All the best! :)
