  1. Is Yahoo creating an open music platform?

    Is Yahoo up to something big in music?

    If indeed my theory is true, Yahoo may be making some very smart strides in the online music ecosystem. According to Ian Rogers of Yahoo music, they’re taking all format and retailing bets off the table, instead opting for an interconnected music web unseen as of yet.   

    It sounds to me like Ian is talking about creating a platform ala Facebook and Open Social but specifically focused around music content and commerce. There are already deep sources of metadata outside of Yahoo (Musicbrainz, and Tourfilter for example) that if referenced properly, could connect music, tour dates, retail, and news in a way that we haven’t yet seen from the siloed music destinations.

    Michael Arrington on Techcrunch does a nice job of summarizing Ian’s own lengthy blog post
