Sorry, Jooce filed for bankruptcy in Octobre 2008. All the office computers sold in Janvier 2009. Mangrove keeps paying ISP bills to sell Jooce to chinese

So did these guys burn up or get bought up?

Interesting technology too bad it’s buggy.

I like the idea of webOS, but like the article says “in talks with internet cafe owner”, this is the only place that a webOS is useful.. The steps that need to happen for this to be practical- 1. install 2. configure 3. find internet cafe where they use this 4. travel without computer.

I think that most people ‘on the go’ would be carrying a laptop or WAP/3G phone, so doesn’t that take away from the value of webOS?

They should have “cheated”. What’s the worst that could have happened? Probably not as bad as this?

You really have to go all out and consider every option when you are in Guerrilla startup mode.

In this economy even established businesses are fighting their way out of the economic Jungle with automatic weapons.

It doesn’t matter what the project is, to get the next round of capital you need X amount of users.

Jooce may have missed a milestone, which according to their term sheet canceled their next funding round.

You can get the US based Mangrove term sheets here. I am a premium member of VCExperts, though I never have time to use my membership.

busy, busy, busy…

It would have been nice to see Jooce’s term sheet, though they told me what the milestones were last year. Tough milestones for this type of startup.

I could have helped them reach their milestones by totally cheating, but they were too honest for my tactics. I had suggested they use part of their budget to buy undervalued websites with their demographic then to redirect those users to their website like speeddate did when they bought out the facebook widgets.

I think for a WebOS to really work it needs to be able to operate on the host device (PC, Mac, whatever) as a virtualized machine that streams what it needs locally and syncs changes back – gives you all the power of the host machine and no risks of accidentally closing the browser or not being able to use all the keys or access hardware functions (GPS, smartcard readers etc) like Moka5 or MojoPac http://tinyurl.com/aa5y9v

EEI recently announced its nationwide search for a CTO. Starting from the top, EEI has contacted Aber Whitcomb, current MySpace CTO, as well as Sean Parker, Founder of Napster and Former President of FaceBook. “No offers have been agreed upon yet so the search continues”, says EEI CEO RJ Garbowicz.

I scored you some publicity!

Oh, and hi Travis. I hope you’re doing well too.

Here is a copy of the letter they sent on January 20.

“Dear jooce User,

We trust that jooce has been serving you well in the past year. However,
in 2009 we will be undergoing a temporary transition as jooce is in the
process of being acquired. ”

This heavily conflicted with the Mangrove Q4 release.

BTW, Travis, if you wanna hook up doing flash for Soeet, you’re always welcome. That’s my own out of work-weekends project. I have some good people on it now and investment lined up for when it betas. If the Jooce acquisition doesn’t work out, get a hold of me.

Shoot, I am glad they are not closing. They sent out an email to their users saying that they were in aqcuisition talks about a month ago, then I downloaded the Mangrove update for Q4 2008, and they said Jooce was closing down in February.

I was like “what the hell”.

Well, good job to Aleks and company on keeping the company afloat.

I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be without funding rounds from Mangrove, but I hope the project finally takes off.

WebOS made a big boom then a little putter about a year or 2 ago.

BTW, I scored an awesome job in LA, just like I said I would. Sunny palm trees here, and NO FRENCH. Paradise.

A new version of the jooce platform was released on the weekend, and one of the primary improvements has been the fixing of many of the bugs that until now had plagued jooce’s growing number of Mac users.

I used to work as an intern at jooce. I can say what is currently public is not at all what they have yet to make public. I am sure they have shown that to the icafe people, I think that is what the icafes are interested in, not what is up there now…

Just signed up for the site – but couldn’t figure out what exactly this product does. I would have expected Word/Excel or something, a picture browser… or anything really! What’s the point of having MSN? Every internet cafe has that already…

Not quite yet. See update with statement from Jooce staff.
