Pyra Demise

It seems as though Pyra has fallen foul of the dotcom recession and is in serious financial trouble. What I don’t understand is this: surely there is such a large user-base that as soon as a pay-for ‘pro’ version of Blogger is released, there is the potential to make the company very profitable. There is enough interest out there in keeping the web rich in hyperlinked content; there are enough individuals passionate enough about what they have to say, that I would have thought Pyra would have been able to harness the blogging craze they have helped to build up. So… it seems Blogger is now a one man band. Good luck Ev, that’s what I say.
