 Rumors Of The Demise Of PubSub 
By: Neville Hobson 2006-06-15 Rumours have been flying lately about the demise of PubSub.com, writes co-founder Bob Wyman yesterday: Link: Bob Wyman I can't deny that things are not going well for us. Our days are numbered. A recent attempt to execute a merger has been blocked and we've been blocked from raising equity financing that would allow us to continue to pay salaries and pay off our $3 million in debt. Thus, our "doors" will close soon if we can't find someone to pull us out of the current situation. Persons with fast access to cash and a desire for some of the industry's best technology are advised to contact us rapidly…I have to admit that I've never really figured out what PubSub offers that Technorati, say, doesn't in terms of search and RSS delivery. For instance, I have a few PubSub searches set up and get the results via RSS, yet the results are largely the same as those I get from Technorati watchlists I have for the same search terms. So why use PubSub? Still, it's sad to see what looks like the imminent demise of a company that has been one of the pioneers in social media services, especially where top-level infighting is being aired so publicly.
