I was a QA intern at Echo Nest in Somerville over the summer and was super surprised to see this today! They're a really a fantastic and fun group of people and doing incredible work, having a fun time while they do it.

(Speaking, naturally, only my own opinions here:) I'm excited for the possibilities of growth that it'll offer the company, but also a little nervous about how it'll affect the Nest's ability to serve their other (previous?) clients. I personally signed on with Rdio because I loved the deep Echo Nest integration—I hope that's not going anywhere.

Looking hopefully, but anxiously, towards the future.
