Did Wallop finally die?

Wallop was a social network initiative that was originally started by Microsoft to rival Facebook and Myspace. It was revolutionary from the perspective that it was primarily all in Flash.

Today I went to the main Wallop website:

http://wallop.com/home.html

And found a site that is marketing applications for other social networks. After seeing this I decided to check out the Wallop members site:

http://members.wallop.com/

And it redirects to the same page.

I then found a techcrunch article:

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/15/wallop-takes-a-leap-into-the-deadpool/

So it is true, it is dead.

Keith Peters's Gravatar Ha. I was trying to think of the name of that a while back. It was a nice idea, but kind of sucked.

Flug's Gravatar Yo it's dead. Maybe because they got their silverlight now and know that they do not have a chance on this market now.
