iJigg/Top440

iJigg (also known as Top440) was a social music discovery platform founded in 2007 and backed by Y Combinator's Summer 2007 batch. Built on a Digg-style voting model, iJigg allowed musicians and fans to submit and vote on singles, surfacing the most popular tracks to the community homepage. Users could listen to songs, rate and 'jigg' their favorites, embed tracks on social platforms like MySpace, and discover other listeners with similar musical tastes. The platform quickly gained traction: by August 2007 it was generating over 12 million pageviews per month, with more than 250,000 tracks played on an average day and over 130,000 registered users growing at roughly 1,700 new signups daily. iJigg raised a seed round in August 2007 with participation from Ridge Ventures and Y Combinator. The company was founded by Bilal, Shadab, and Zaid Farooqui and was headquartered in San Francisco. iJigg competed in the early social music space alongside Last.fm, Pandora, iLike, and FineTune. The site is now inactive.
