MySpace Acquires iLike
 MySpace is acquiring iLike, a social music discovery service. Brothers Ali and Hadi Partovi founded iLike in 2006. It has quickly climbed to 55 million users. A lot of iLike's growth came from its popularity on Facebook.
"The iLike acquisition advances our relentless pursuit of innovation and the need to create new distributed social experiences in music and beyond," said Owen Van Natta, Chief Executive Officer of MySpace. "We are deeply committed to bringing world class talent into all areas of the company and this acquisition demonstrates our focus on this objective."
The press release says, "iLike users and the artist community should expect the iLike experience to be unaffected by the acquisition." TechCrunch says the acquisition is a lose-lose situation for Facebook. iLike is the most popular music app on Facebook so Facebook either has to allow MySpace to have that much popularity on its service or risk angering its users by banning iLike.

Christina Aguilera Cuts Exclusive Deals With iLike and Target
Exclusive deals seem to be the big trend in music. Christina Aguilera's new music video for her song "Keeps Gettin' Better" is available exclusively on iLike. You can watch it at www.ilike.com/christina. It's a great video - we like the supergirl Christina becomes. MTV says Christina's label says the video shows Christina "traveling through time and fashion in an homage to her 10-year career." Christina appeared as a hot sci-fi babe in an earlier image released by her label.
Christina has also cut an exclusive deal for the release of her album. Her album Keeps Gettin' Better - A Decade of Hits will be available exclusively at Target on November 11th. The album can also be pre-ordered here on the Target.com website. This deal sounds very similar to the deal AC/DC cut with Wal-Mart.
