iLike in USA Today
There's a short but sweet interview with Ali Partovi, the CEO of iLike, in USA Today. Ali distinguishes iLike from Pandora by saying:
Most people I know miss concerts by their favorite artists, because they didn't know they were coming to town. That's a failure for the artist, fan and venue. Services like Pandora do a great job of matching music to your tastes, if you have hours to spend there listening. Our approach was to create a service not for music consumption, but a place to communicate, discover and learn.
