Wow. Anyone else remember Pointcast? I’m probably dating myself terribly here…but I remember being beat over the head with “Push” technologies, and being told by a Pointcast employee that they were going to be soooo big, which I thought was interesting for a service that pushed information to a desktop when the screensaver was running (IE no one around to see it).
Here’s a summary, and a longer story about the company.
I’m not sure why I thought to check the URL to see what was there, but I sure didn’t expect to see the pointcast.com domain abandoned to the point of being one of those “search the web” kind of sites with the domain being for sale. Seems like the name would have retained some equity for someone.
