Though it’s hard to believe, Performancing, or recently known as ScribeFire seems to be going to deadpool. Performancing is a decent extension for me. And it’s a very valuable tool for some others. That’s why it make sense when it got a deal with PayPerPost. However, after a recent departure of its CEO (CEO seems to always leaving when their startup got acquired), the castle started crumbling. As TechCrunch have written, the deal fell apart earlier this month. PayPerPost had walked away from the acquisition after digging out that it was not what PayPerPost looking for. It’s quite a shame to see some big venture capital not doing their homework like that.

Turning around from Performancing, let’s take a look at Foxytunes. Yes, Foxytunes is a well known Firefox extension (and for IE as well) to control any of your media player form a browser. Recently FoxyTunes just creates a private beta service to lookup information about currently playing song..err singing artist. WebWare wrote it as: a new mashup site that integrates the music controls of FoxyTunes with an aggregation tool to give you more information and media about your favorite musical artists and new discoveries. One guessable step to social network service (startup ) I believe.

Meanwhile, the Big Boys seems to want some cut in this myspace-like (read: social network) game. It’s still a huge cake for everyone to enjoy. R/WW wrote, IBM has released an enterprise social networking suite, called Lotus Connections. Uh oh, and also, even Microsoft had something to say. Its recent spins, I meant press release, Microsoft announced new tools that will help IBM Lotus Notes/Domino customers to move off to Microsoft service. And Microsoft will, off course, happily assist the migration. Boy, God forbid. I don’t know what Microsoft doesn’t want to get into. While everybody start going into specialized field, that bad boy just want everything. Not a new story though. We’ll see how this big boys competes with start-from-scratch boys.
