Plug.dj Is Back With a New Owner, All Your Old Playlists Remain in Their Places
Plug.dj, a social music site that lets you play music videos with a group of friends or strangers, shut down last year . At the time, it seemed that he would never return, but sometimes miracles do happen. It’s back, and it even has all your old playlists right where you left them.
In a blog post yesterday, Plug.dj explained that it is now owned by Rowl, an investment agency that specializes in mobile startups. According to the post, the previous round of fundraising the company did before it closed helped keep it afloat long enough to be acquired, so if you only contributed to feel resentful when the company closed anyway, hopefully it will bring some consolation. If you were a subscriber before the site closed, you will find that the subscription benefits apply to your account until the end of August.
Apart from these changes, the site works exactly the same as before. The Plug3 extension is still working! All your playlists are where you left them and you still have all the points and unlocked avatars you had before the site closed. The company has been working on the site for the past few months, so hopefully with a new owner and a longer development period, it will be more stable and have fewer financial problems than in the past.
