Where are the apps?

from The Observer Business section 27th December 2009

So the whole tech/comms world has gone app crazy - except at Blinkx, where they sail blissfully on, building products that they then do nothing with and slipping ever more gradually into obscurity...

Let's hope they get their shit together in 2010 - because if they don't the company will be bust this time next year (yes revenues are rising but so are costs: 'turnover is vanity, profit is sanity') and Chandratillake will have been shown not to be some kind of tech visionary at all, but in fact a rank incompetent incapable of even getting damp in what he once described - an awfully long time ago now, it seems - as a 'perfect storm of opportunity'...

Fundamental question: if Blinkx have a good story to tell, WHY AREN'T THEY TELLING IT?
