End of the Road for a Storied Adware Firm - ClickZ

"After a ten-year ride, one of the few remaining survivors of the adware era, Zango, has shuttered its doors under foreclosure, its assets sold to Blinkx to pay creditors."

Is it really one of the few remaining survivors?

Finally, we get to see the appropriate end for a bunch of low-life *******s and their criminal clientele. (I am still getting those emails offering traffic though and we always assumed they were one and the same).

One of the few remaining survivors? I doubt it but you would be better-informed than me.

There will always be dishonesty and deception to watch out for. It is part of human nature.

This isn't the first time "zango" has "closed".
They've had at least 4 other business names that I know of in the past, and each time they've been shut down, they simply sell their equipment off to some unknown company and start again.

My assumption is that this is a great way of getting rid of negative reputation as well as bad debt owed to creditors and venture capital investors.

Their affiliate program is still running, actually, so that's a pretty good indication of the state of things.

It looks like you are spot on yet again, HarveyJ.
