Too bad, according to Wikipedia Legal Issues http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odeo
they will be in trademark violation!
Just rebrand it Fried Ant then!

Odeo Odeo wherefore art thou Odeo?

It is January 8th, where is the re-launch?

You said with vim and vigor on your blog:

Odeo Announces FireAnt Acquisition, Plans for December Relaunch

Well, what is it December 2008 then?

Did the Odeo/ sonicmountain team forget to pay the bill for this coming week or is this the re launch?

We are experiencing an equipment-related outage and are doing our best to restore service as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!
The ODEO team

Odeo December re-launch is here: Tada! a JPEG

ODEO Investigation: Who is this guy Frank Maraesca and what does he have to do with Odeo?

A little birdy in NYC informed this blogger to Google Frank Maresca and quite a few things came up.

1. He has on his website that he works with Sivault? (Rick Arturo, Eric Russo/Rupert? and Dick Moore all come up as Silvault exec also- now Sonicmountain /Odeo execs?)
http://www.fundingpost.com/venturefund/venture-fund-profile.asp?fund=290
2. From the Odeo Wikipedia hyperlink he was the "Sole Director" of SonicMountain who kept this fact secret from the CEO, who he had removed without a vote of shareholders.
Rumour on the blogosphere is that the CEO wanted to stop a Pump And Dump scam!

So who is this guy and what is his agenda? (Guy from Wantaugh will know?)
Please send info back to blog in comment section

Odeo / SM announces (under the covers) a private beta launch of the Fireant site!

You heard it here first! What is this nonsense? A private beta? You Plump and Dumpers have been screaming Oh Fireant! (never paying the poor souls either!) Fireant will show every one! Well we are waiting! Looks like a Firesale of re-hashed code from myfireant! Too embarrassed to admit you just are underfunded (thanks to no pink sheet investment!)and way too late to the party!

Don’t hold your breath for anything exciting to come from the likes of kinberg at fireant. He flat out lied to me and my college friends who spent months working on a video channel for fireant, saying that a new version of the player was coming, that it would connect directly to portable devices and that our channel would be put into the fireant directory. All lies.

Don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner but I checked out kinberg’s personal blog and here’s a guy who doesn’t even bother to update his blog for months at a time and not a hint of video creation to be found. I wonder if ODEO did their homework before hiring this guy on!

I’m pretty sick and tired of these blabber-mouth, self flattering tech CEOs who think they know what film makers want, when they themselves don’t produce nada. Granted my friends and I are just starting out in film making and comedy TV, but at least we try to produce something every day.

Odeo Sonicmountain reportedly struggling without trademark!

Maybe why(other than financial reasons we hear)they cannot re-launch? 24 days late and counting!
