when an ad came on that sent me to my computer. Now that is what I call marketing, an ad that takes me away from my beloved Chargers. The ad was for the droid. I have enclosed the short commercial near the bottom of the post for your viewing.

Their reasoning for abandoning this focus was monetization. They expressed dismay at not being able to figure out a way to make it profitable.
(Post from Search Engine Optimizician.)
SplashCast is not only throwing in the towel they are heading for the cemetery.
