My favourite internet company. As soon as it came out, it was clear that it was going to be a big deal. Pretty much every electronic musician I know dumped myspace like a hot potato and eagerly started using SC. The punks took a little longer, but they're there as well now. All the decisions they've made since then have kept it on the right path. I've said it here before, I think their strategy of keeping souncloud.com itself aimed solely at creators, and having consumers come in through other sites via the API, is genius. If the new VCs try and dissuade them from this, I will be very sad. At least try and make any new discovery/listening features a separate app on a separate domain, please? "content deals with major music labels" sets alarm bells ringing for me. (Of course the cleverest part was their decision to actually accept substantial amounts of money from their users :) EDIT: also can you use some of that money to up the streams from 128 mp3? at least ogg or something? my tunes (link in profile ;) which I spend so long mixing sound super-watery on there, which is a shame because that's the main way people listen to them at this point.
