"A typical scam: users are offered in game currency in exchange for filling out an IQ survey. Four simple questions are asked. The answers are irrelevant. When the user gets to the last question they are told their results will be text messaged to them. They are asked to enter in their mobile phone number, and are texted a pin code to enter on the quiz. Once they’ve done that, they’ve just subscribed to a $9.99/month subscription." - Karl Rosaen from Bookmarklet

"The always animated Nguyen was more animated than usual—and for good reason. He’d just finished a day when the world learned that his little-known company was going to be the engine behind new digital music offerings from Net behemoths Google and Facebook." - Karl Rosaen from Bookmarklet

go lala! I prefer their business model to any other I've come across. I end up paying <$5 to listen to whatever I want all the time (and all the while there's no subscription fee; my collection accumulates and I can stop buying new stuff at any time). - Karl Rosaen
