In my previous article titled Online Karaoke Is Not Growing, I said,

I think the problem with the two services is that both are trying to avoid the problem YouTube encountered of having outrageous expenses and no viable business model. They implemented their services as paid services from the very beginning, whereas YouTube suffered huge financial losses yet continued to explode in traffic and membership.

In the time since, YouTube continued in its meteoric growth and was recently sold to Google for $1.65 billion, while SingShot has continued in its journey of going nowhere.

Well, Singshot seems to have realized that charging for a service no one uses isn't the best way to do business, because Singshot's karaoke services are now unlimited and free.

Will this development help Singshot suddenly become the next Web 2.0 phenomenon? Probably not, since users wouldn't have objected to paying a cost if the service was great. However, what it does do is put them a big step ahead of kSolo, the karaoke service acquired by Fox that still continues to charge its non-existent users.
