Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2005
An internet radio service that builds personal stations from a song or artist you like, matching tracks by musical traits.
It began as Savage Beast Technologies in 2000, and staff agreed to work two years unpaid to keep it alive. By December 2013 it had 70% of US internet radio listening. SiriusXM bought it for $3.5 billion in 2019.
In 2005: Launched in August as a paid service. A free, ad-supported version followed in November, after users gamed the 10-hour free trial with new email addresses.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
