Jangl’s engineer team had 8 members. I don’t know from where are coming these reports that Michael Cerda and Ben Dean are taking 5 of his best engineers to go to Jajah. The majority of the ex-Jangl engineers are extremely upset with the way Michael and Ben handled the company and, specially, its closure. They simply resigned and ran away from their responsibilities.

Check out Ifbyphone. They’re doing “real” telephony integration with the web.

So how does this make sense? Jangl, which offered basically just click2call service which anyone can build quickly using asterisk or using one of the other players in the market went down because it didn’t have *any real* technology. LiveUniverse buys it to do what? Having assets and employees of company which really didn’t have any technology is just a disaster prolonged. Why wouldn’t he consider someone like TruPhone or Fring or any other such company which is offering more than just click2call? **sigh** I guess, having cash to buy around companies doesn’t necessarily give you the brains to acquire the right kind of technology.

Jangl is dead & Greenspan is a loser. Will be a deadly combination.

@5: You forgot to make fun of ‘livecrunch.com’ which is his bad attempt at trying to appear part of the “Crunch” Network.

Otherwise, 2.5/5 stars.

Hm, a ‘disconnect between the VC’s’ I wonder how often we’re going to hear that in the next couple if years.

Man.

I feel for places like PlentyOfFish that integrated the Jangl technology only months ago to have it end like this. What a big time sink for everyone involved.
