Sunnyvale, Calif. - Ian Rogers, the head of Yahoo's (NASD: YHOO) Music unit, has stepped down to go work at a music-related start-up he co-founded, according to a post on his blog. Rogers, Yahoo's VP of video and music applications, will join Topspin Media, which will offer some sort of distribution service for independent artists. Analysis: Will Facebook Be MySpace and iTunes Rolled Into One? Hopefully NotAuthored by Jay Baage on October 8, 2007 - 1:33pm.
Over the past week, rumors have circulated that Facebook is getting into the digital music market. Some reports suggest the social networking site is going to launch an MP3-store; others say that it is an "artist platform" similar to MySpace. The latter makes the most sense, giving a boost to third-party Facebook Platform music applications, rather than getting into what is becoming an increasingly competitive space.
