iLike Has Five – No, Wait! – Six Million Registered Users

Adding 300,000 New Users a Day, iLike Becomes Web’s Fastest-Growing Music Service

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iLike, inc is now the Web’s fastest-growing music service, with over six million registered users and adding a million more every few days.

“Facebook Platform represents an opportunity of epic proportions, and we’re transforming our business to focus on it.”

iLike’s website (www.iLike.com) has registered over three million users since launching in October 2006, and is now adding about one million more per month. This growth has been recently augmented by the explosive success of the company’s new application for Facebook®, signing three million new users since launching just over two weeks ago.

  • Learn when their favorite artists are going on tour and see who else is attending.
  • Search and add streaming music and music videos to their Facebook profile.
  • Discover new music via personalized recommendations of free MP3s.
