A Look Back at the Company That Changed Music, Napster

Seven years ago, I was out of B-School working in the search engine industry at one of the early meta search engines online.  Google had a fraction of our traffic, but we knew it was in a league of its own.  Another company that was in a league of its own, but for an entirely different set of reasons, was Napster.  Napster changed music and the industry at large.  I got into Napster at that first job, and knew that the Web would change everything.  It was a matter of time, and a question of velocity.

Don Dodge, currently a MSFT exec. in their emerging team unit, quit the Google of that era - AltaVista - to join Napster seven years ago today.

The rest, as they say, is history.  I read every word twice, and the lessons at the end are absolutely priceless… sit back and enjoy.
