  Low price ? I'm amazed it fetched that much! They're roughly 250K uniques / day, that's an amazing amount of money for such a small site. The way they've been emailing people they should have been bigger than google by now...

    iLike is in many ways the poor man's Last.fm. I don't see how it's worth Myspace's money, unless they're buying it for the infrastructure.

      Good point, I hadn't thought of that. Compared to what myspace already has it would be a drop in the bucket though. I think myspace just needs to be seen as doing something (anything) and they need to prop up their rapidly failing numbers. Since mid 2008 they've halved in traffic, a trend that they'll have to stop somehow. At least this gives them a way to get the myspace.com domain in the press in a positive way.
