I had the pleasure of doing some extensive planning work for
sixdegrees. Although that's not to say their demise was my doing.
Classic case of timing being everything: they reached unprecedented
subscription and usage levels, but at that point no one knew how to
monetize it. And that's despite a sale to what was then called Fox
Interactive (which also went down smoking before MySpace was a glint
in Rupert Murdoch's eye; timing, timing, timing...)
BTW, perhaps more importantly, I think they also invented viral
marketing, because that's how they reached those levels and I don't
think anyone else was doing it at the time.
