Last.fm might be getting a pay day

Last.fm has been one of my favorite web tools of late. When I first discovered Last.fm, in late 2005, I didn’t quite get it. I still think they have lots of room for improvement, but overall I like the community and music tools much better than anything else out there. However, Virb.com has potential in this category, if they improve music options.

Oh, the reason that I wrote this post was to share the latest rumor. according to Steve O’Hear, Last.fm is in purchase negotiations with Viacom and the “The purchase price is said to be $450 million”.
