WebSourced / MarketSmartInteractive / KeywordRanking Shuts Down

Rumor on the street has been confirmed by former employees on their way to the unemployment offices that the poophole formerly known as KeywordRanking, formerly Websourced, now MarketSmartInteractive has shut down.

Now I can’t verify that this portion is true but I heard they brought in my man Xavier, excuse me, X-man as he wanted to be called to say

“the doors are closing, don’t let them hit you on your way out, but if you are into swapping wives leave me your phone number. Rar!”

Everyone is going to say they feel bad for the people who were still there, but they should have known its coming, and if you haven’t planned for it than you got issues. I resigned over a year ago and it was the best thing I could have done so these people should feel releived. Most are smart people who will find a job somewhere quickly. Back in Feb of 06 I predicted that the company would be done in 2-3 months and while I was quickly bashed in my comments it seems I was only about 9 months off. I assume a few people will be left to tie the loose ends and the doors will officially be shut in the upcoming days.

*updated with this from my earlier websourced layoff post*

Couple of tips, if you are living in NC, do not get the Cobra health plan, you can save money by going to BCBSnc.com and get a better plan then the Cigna stuff. Also be sure to sign up for North Carolina Unemployment, not only is it a paycheck you can collect for 24 months, but The Company has to pay for it! double burn.
