Yahoo! Assimilates Meedio
April 18th, 2006
Resistance is futile! Meedio, the developer of popular home entertainment software, has been absorbed by Yahoo! It will add Meedio’s biological and technological distinctiveness to its own….
However, Yahoo! has not purchased the Meedio software suite, only the development team and technologies behind it, leaving loyal users in the cold with regard to support and upgrades.
A note on the Meedio homepage tries to paint this news in a positive light, but it essentially means the end of the Meedio family of software with only community support now available. Even EPG data will no longer be updated after July 1.
“I hope you are as excited as I am about our big news. I am really looking forward to being able to bring you more cool products from Yahoo! This is a beginning, not an end,” said Pablo Pissanetzky, Chief Technical Officer for Meedio.
