Yes, Rdio has been available in the US for at least a month. Here are a couple of links to invite-offering posts: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/22/rdio-invites/ http://changingway.org/2010/06/16/rdio-on/

The first of them is at a site that may be familiar. The second includes one person's reasons for not persevering with Rdio beyond the free trial.

I tried it, decided that there are too many gaps, and let my trial expire at the end of three days: http://changingway.org/2010/06/16/rdio-on/
I don't mind the 3-day trial, especially since it doesn't require a credit card.

How things have changed since the Web 2.0 days. Back then, it seemed that every other post had to include the phrase "long tail." Now the term is avoided -studiously or automatically, I don't know.

It was good to see the pleasingly retro term Web 2.0 dusted off, though. "This is the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0—the market is big enough you don’t have to be all things to all people, you can serve a part of the population better than anyone else and win."

Ian, I hope that you will post on the shutdown of Lala. I still see more reason for sadness than for excitement...
