Teglo enabled you to build the frontend of a mashup pulling together data from several sources. Pipes enables you to remix feeds. Openkapow and Dapper allows you to access data from sources on the web (ie web pages). That puts all these products in quiet different places in the mashup ecosystem. There are several major companies trying to do the same thing as Teqlo - IBM with QEDWiki, Microsoft with Popfly, BEA with Pages etc - so I think that Teqlos problem was more that they were too early to the market and that the market at this time requires more than just a general mashup building platform.

Its too bad they did not find the right context via partnership or acquisition to plug this into. Standalone mashup platforms, as Teqlo demonstrates, will find it hard to go it alone. I think the future of mashups in the enterprise will be delivered in the form of self-service customization tools baked into leading SaaS platforms.
