MUMBAI: Social media network imeem has acquired Anywhere.FM, a San Francisco-based web music player and Internet radio service.
The acquisition of Anywhere.FM brings music uploading capabilities, a web music player, and recommendation features that will enhance the imeem experience and help imeem expand its business. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Anywhere.FM makes it simple for consumers to bring their music to the Web and discover new artists through recommendations and social connections,” said imeem founder and CEO Dalton Caldwell. “That’s a great fit with what we do. Combining Anywhere.FM’s expertise with the reach and scope of the imeem community creates some truly exciting possibilities, and we’re psyched they’re joining our team.”

Anywhere.FM was founded and launched in 2007, and received funding from Y Combinator. Anywhere.FM’s three co-founders, Anson Tsai, Lux Chen, and Sachin Rekhi, will join imeem, working from its San Francisco headquarters.
