Back in August, CHS reported on Capitol Hill startup iLike getting gobbled up by social media giant MySpace for $13.5 million plus $6 million in ‘talent retention.’ We wondered at the time how long iLike would remain in their Boylston Ave office space after the deal.
The answer? Not long.
We heard that iLike was on the move and we have been asking their PR person for information but never got confirmation. No bother. We saw an iLike employee’s tweet about the in-progress move Wednesday morning. The iLike folks are heading downtown to join other MySpace development teams on Western Ave.
Adios, iLike. We’ll see if we can get some more info from the iLike folks about the move but given MySpace’s investment in their downtown offices, probably not much Capitol Hill could have done to keep them.
