ILike new logo You've spent countless hours tweaking your iLike profile.  You'r usiing iLike widgets to spread the word across other sites and particularly on Facebook where its the most popular music app available.

Myspace new But now MySpace has bought iLike and things are going to change.  Facebook  is going to kick iLike widgets off their site because that it's owned by it's top competitor MySpace.

Facebook Fortunately, for now at least,  there's no need for alarm.

Things certainly can change and Hypebot will be watching it all closely for you. (In fact, if you see anything weird email me at hypebot(at)skylineineonline(dot)com and I'll investigate) But until then, rest easy, I've got your back.

UPDATE: CNet reports that iLike will soon debut downloads on Facebook app.
