Apple is ready to announce a deal to embed a version of the iTunes Store into the Bebo social networking site, according to a Financial Times report. The report claims that beginning today, the service’s 8.8 million users in the UK and Ireland will be able to buy music from the profile of any musician who has both a Bebo profile and music on iTunes. Bebo has 500,000 musicians registered on the site, a number that includes both established acts and unknown bands. The deal would mark the first time Apple has offered an embedded version of iTunes on a social networking site.

Well that’s stupid. Why Bebo?
iLike.com has been rising in popularity, already integrates with iTunes via a built in Sidebar written in Flash that syncs iTunes data with an online profile and offers free MP3 downloads of songs from Garageband.com and offers links to related music taking you directly to the iTunes Store.
They have also added 5 Million new members since launching an Application for Facebook and they had to double their servers several times now just to handle the traffic.
So why Bebo?
