Lala Shutdown: Twitter Top 20

By Ryan Van Etten on 04/30/2010

Apple caused a Twitter storm today with the abrupt announcement that their newly acquired cloud-based music service “Lala is shutting down.” I won’t speculate today on what this may mean for the future of iTunes and the music industry. Instead, here’s our top 20 reactions to the news—reader discretion is advised.

#20

WTF - Lala is shutting down?!?

#19

Dear Apple: I love my new MacBook, but you suck for shutting down Lala.com. For real. No love, Dorie #apple #lala

#18

APPLE IS TAKING OVER! Lala discontinued! The first (or 3rd) step in music takeover! #lala #RIP

#17

RIP Lala. Requesting Spotify for US. #Lala

#16

It bites my ass that lala.com is closing! Apparently Im the only person who streams music NOT on itunes, which needs updating to be worthy.

#15

I don't know if I've ever felt this sad over the passing of a website. #lala

#14

Every time I listen to lala now I cry a little bit... #suckitapple

#13

No more Lala means no music cloud (and most likely a pay-up-the-ass apple version).

#12

Almost made a purchase on Lala today, to show support for the service, then realized I'd just be giving Apple more cash. Hello, @amazonmp3.

#11

Apple shut down #Lala?! How am I going to legally listen to music for free?

#10

No more Lala means no music cloud (and most likely a pay-up-the-ass apple version).

#9

: What the effin fuck? apple shut down Lala!? I dont want itunes credit, l guess its back to stealing all my music again.

#8

You bought Lala, making everyone think that maybe you'd offer a music subscription service, but instead you just shut it down.

#7

Apple shutting down lala.com. Once again trying to control the way everyone downloads/uses music. FAIL.

#6

Fuck you Apple. Lala.com was amazing (actually had me buying music).

#5

Lala: Where music DIES.

#4

Fuck Lala. If it ain't on vinyl, I don't need it :)

#3

lala already turned off their little player I could embed in facebook. guess it's back to posting pirate MP3s #YouCantStopProgress

#2

Now accepting Lala refugees.

#1

I know I'm late but... Apple closing Lala? WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK This better mean an incredible iTunes.com

RIP Lala, but let the music rock on. I’m optimistic—what’s your reaction?
