Threadloom Sold To V.S.

[Ozzy47]

Threadloom has sold out to the community killer Vertical Scope.

I’d remove any of the addons/services you might be using of theses ASAP. All that data/content from Threadloom customer sites that V.S. will re-used for commercial purposes.

I wonder if the acquisition includes TAZ. 🤔

I was about to say… Isn’t Threadloom the service that the new TAZ owner has had plastered everywhere?

 

[Ozzy47]

Yeah it is, Threadloom purchased TAZ in December of 2019

I would think TAZ would be part of that deal.

 

[Ozzy47]

Most likely.

 

[Jay™]

That site is dead now anyhow, not many post on there for some months.

 

[Ozzy47]

So far the Threadloom team has not commented at all about the status of TAZ. 🤔

I have never heard of any of these websites/services. What are they?

Threadloom was founded by ex-Google employees. I've met these people in person because they lived in my area of Redwood City, California - in the heart of the Silicon Valley ecosystem. These companies are typically headquartered here to get Venture Capital money. But when a company is acquired its because something is wrong internally like not able to scale. Other times its because of funding issues.

Threadloom was originally created to curate search results to your users using Google's own search engine. Yup.

I have this on multiple forums i own. They are good developers, but I don't see V.S. managing them well.

It’s official, TAZ is now owned by the community killer VS.
