Wow. It's been over 6 months since my last blog post! I'm sure this will change in 2009 and here goes the first post this year, and I'm sure many more will come. I received the email below on Tuesday and for some reason it does not surprise me! What's seems a bit strange is that the news did not seem to be picked up by anyone. I havent seen any blog posts on the topic or even articles on Stuff or NZ Herald or anything and I probably wouldn't have known if I hadn't received this email.

I'm in many ways not surprised and I'm sure others probably share my view.

UPDATE: It looks like this has actually been covered in a few articles including the following articles

- Telecom shuts web shopping site on Stuff
- Ferrit to close on Geekzone forums

and a few other posts out there. Thanks for the heads up Mauricio. I missed a lot of news somehow.

This was posted in a few blogs on Geekzone, a couple of discussions in the forums, at least three posts by Lance Wiggs and a few others, talked about by at least three people on the radio (Juha Saarinen, Ben Gracewood), and had articles on Stuff and NZ Herald for three days in a row since the announcement, which was on 12 January.

I am surprised you didn't notice all this activity going on...

Thanks Mauricio, not sure why I missed all of that. I guess I'm not reading as much as I used to or something.

It is understandable... A lot of information just seems like overload...

An email is coming your way soon.
