The site, in 2008

A Chinese music streaming service that Alibaba took over and folded into its music business.

Launched in 2008 as one of China's first streaming sites, it was known for alternative music and support for independent musicians. Alibaba bought it in 2013 and shut it on 5 February 2021, when it had about 9 million monthly users.

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.
