This is another story from Cnet, and it concerns 15 websites that shutdown during the year. As you might expect, there are a lot of sub-site from Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google, but there was one that was from a smaller company called Splashcast that was initially a way for people to share, legally, multiple media types. What sunk them was a lack of funds as they got into publishing content and allowing users to chat during hosted TV shows. It’s almost like they were trying to provide live video casting solutions. Guess they should have waited until they had more solid sponsorship or customer base before expanding.
I had no idea about any of this!
