Odeo Burns Fireant and Ajax is still the cleaning powder!

You heard it here first from the Big Apple! Odeo never paid Fireant the $400,000.
Now I know the "boys" down the street will "say it isn't so, say it isn't so!", but poor Jen and Josh were used as shills for Mr. Plump and Mr. Dump!

Oh well, another sad story for all of us. Guy from Wantagh says it all here (what did we expect?)
One interview at http://newteevee.com/2007/05/10/sonicmountains-odeo-plans-include-video/ had the quotes about “their own patent-pending search” and “SonicMountain has big plans. The acquisition of Odeo gives them an instant community to test their new tools and services on”. Which just seemed out of touch.

Accepting all their announced claims at face value drove me nuts. Especially, because at the time of the original announcement, Sonic Mountain’s mail address was a PO box at a UPS Store in Suburban Long Island (in Wantagh NY, just across the street from the Dunkin Donuts near the train station). Believe me, I’m the “Guy from Wantagh”. It is a great place to live, but you won’t easily find venture capital or Web 2.0 talent in a bedroom community that is the “Gateway to Jones Beach”. In Wantagh, Ajax is still the cleaning powder.
