image thumb55 Rdio makes another key hire: Wilson Miner.. I just hope it lives up to all the hype

I thought it was just the Skype, Joost, Kazaa founders that jumped over to bring Rdio, the online music startup, I was wrong. The startup is building itself up on the leading tech people out there. The latest recruit is Wilson Miner who is not only a web developer and designer but an entrepreneur as well. He has quite some feathers in his cap; a couple of which include the redesign of Apple.com into what it is now along with being the co-founder and lead designer of EveryBlock. I just wonder if Rdio actually lives up to the expectation one has given the team it has, it will be phenomenal if it turns out to be a success story like Skype. Just hope so.

If you had one successful startup under your belt that has been fought for hard by a giant then you have every reason to jump and try new things. Skype founders, Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström are putting their years of experience to push another startup: Rdio. Rdio is a digital music startup waiting for its launch and has quite a team to make it successful enough; including Carter Adamson the former GM of desktop products at Skype. The startup is still in the shadows and there isn’t much on it. I just hope it is able to perform as impressively as Skype.
