We took time to build this list, just to remind some of the earlier web adopters of some names we miss today. Most have gone bankrupt and very few allowed their domains to expire without redirecting them, after acquisitions.

Feedlounge: An RSS reader space that was announced on June 9, 2005. Today, it is .gone. Another company in this category is Kinja which has also collapsed. However, Bloglines, Pluck, and Rojo which later became Blogs are just surviving.

ZeeAdSpace provides a marketplace where publishers and advertises can buy ads. The company will then populate those ads to some well trafficked sites in Nigeria. We actually saw their ads in Yarnpad. It is a kind of cross-linking where an ad in placed in one place and it could be shown in many relevant sites. This is what Google does expect that it is done at a global level.

If this company has resources and execute this vision, it can solve a very niche problem – providing ads that are locally targeted and which could be more relevant than Google flashing a Fasmicro training ad to someone in Michigan.
