Wikipedia states Imeem was founded by Dalton Caldwell and Jan Jannink in 2003. The company was named from "meme", a tern used by author Richard Dawkins to describe spreading ideas and cultural phenomena. The costs of online music at Imeem were supported by advertising. Users could legally upload, stream and share music. Imeem widgets could be used to embed songs and playlists from almost anywhere on the web.
Imeem had a user base of about 16 million. Forbes reports MySpace purchased Imeem for less than $1 million. It seems ad revenues were lacking since Imeem launched its free music business in 2007. Imeem MySpace info about your Imeem.com login read as follows when you try to access the site:
