Universal Continues Buying Its Way Into Music Blogosphere

Quick, what does the world need now more than anything else? That’s right, more music blogs!

But seriously, though, from Digital Music News comes word that the make-an-instant-music-blog startup Uber.Com just received investment cash from Universal (who, you recall, also put money into Buzznet back in April). It’s worth pointing out that, in a similar vein, Warner recently put $20 million into Lala.com.

Hmm, anyone see any possible problems in the majors owning the music blogosphere?

    Doesn’t Universal also own a piece of Stereogum and Idolator now by way of Buzznet, too?
