Listen.com - Where are they now?

Rob Reid, the founder of Listen, married a wonderful woman last night, so the old Rhapsody gang was mostly reunited for an evening here at City Hall, and it was good to see that everyone is doing well in their post-RealNetworks lives.  Here is a quick update of the Listen.com "where are they now?"

1.  Rob Reid - Chairman and founder - just got married, and has been living in LA working on a couple of great media ideas, as well as helping out a few companies like us at Meez.
2.  Sean Ryan - CEO - started Donnerwood Media 18 months ago, home of leading avatar service Meez, as well as popular casual game Tringo
3.  Dave Williams - VP Product - is CMO and GM of Games at Atom Entertainment, which was just purchased by Viacom last week for $200M!  Nice job
4.  Ranah Edelin - VP Business Development and Label Relations - now CEO and co-founder of karaoke and talent platform SingShot - recently named by Time Magazine as one of the top 50 websites on the Internet.
5.  Niranjan Nagar - VP Engineering - now CTO and co-founder of karaoke and talent platform SingShot - recently named by Time Magazine as one of the top 50 websites on the Internet.
6.  Tim Bratton - VP, New Technology - in typical brilliant but quirky Brattonian style, he's working on a series of cool technology ideas, but also took the time to purchase an RV park in Texas (see site here), which is already throwing off cash.  Might be our next offsite location...
7.  Zahavah Levine - Legal Boss - now General Counsel at YouTube, having gone from the frying pan into the fire, but YouTube couldn't have hired a better person for the job.

There are many other Listen alums scattered around the Internet, but it has been good to see everyone doing so well.  What is clear is that most of us appear to have abandoned the masochistic digital music business outside of the SingShot gang, which I think has found one of the few viable business models in online music.
