This morning Beats (yes, the maker of the Beats headphones) announced their upcoming music streaming service. Cleverly, they prompt users to reserve their username and share on Facebook/Twitter.
I'm curious to see how this compares to Spotify and others. Press eludes to curated (editorial or social?) discovery.

The whole "reserve your username" thing was exploited really successfully by a group software startup in NY a few years ago, I can't remember their name though. They got like 200k signups with 0 hints about what the product does.

More competition (or frienenemies) in this space. YC-backed Bop.fm was covered on TC today - http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/05...
