@gaurav It looks like the company that was financing them ran upon some rough times–look up Web2 Corp on the American Storck Exchange and see what’s happened to their stock price in the last year.

Talk about your wild rides. I signed up for their e-mail a while back because they had a “Win $5 Million USD” contest going on. I didn’t win, but since the payout was over thirty or forty years, the dollar may be so much weaker by then that the winner only gets enough to buy himself a cup of tea at a cafe somewhere.

To add – surprisingly the site gets a lot of traffic from Philipines, Bulgaria and Indonesia than India.

Today is the first time I heard about them. It seems like they had pretty wild times last year with the traffic and something seriously bad happened in Sep 07. Their current traffic is a bit more than ours and also more than desimartini. $0.5M is cheaper, if someone was to follow HT's footsteps.

I wonder if these are just one-off or a beginning of a bigger downfall.
