Microsoft buys Seeqpod Playable Music Search

This is kinda old, but not too old, dont know how many people know this.

Quote:
SeeqPod was a search and recommendation engine specifically for indexing and finding playable search results including audio, video, podcasts and Wikipedia articles [1] that are publicly accessible on the World Wide Web.[2] The site claims to index more than 13M individual tracks and files. [3]. On April 1st 2009, SeeqPod filed for bankruptcy protection under chapter 11.[

Seeqpod's main page now links to bing.com

What really sucks is favtape.com was powered by seeqpod search, and they were featured in wired, usa today, rolling stone magazine, lifehacker, digg, etc, lots of wasted traffic.
