Well, that’s what appears to be the case, if the LinkedIn profile page of someone claiming to be Robert Labatt is to be believed. You will need to sign in or join LinkedIn to view this:
Current
- Entrepreneurial self starter at Looking for my next great adventure
Past
- President, CEO, Director at ezboard, Inc.
- Consultant, Entrepreneur at Self
- Research Director, Consumer Internet, Web Services
This part of his summary amused me:
“Most recently Mr. Labatt was CEO of ezboard, Inc. a profitable and growing network of consumer generated and white label enthusiast communities. During his over three year tenure at ezboard Mr. Labatt delivered the companies [sic]Â first profits, conceived and released the successful successor to the companies [sic] core community product and negotiated and sold the company to a strategic buyer.”
Strange how he doesn’t mention the loss of customer data whilst under his tenure. Nor the extended (and continuing) beta status of the software.
So who is the mystery buyer? Well if you recall back in September, I mentioned the rumour of a sale to Kickapps. Whether they are the buyer of course is another thing as their web site is silent on it.
Funnily enough, there’s no mention of any of this on ezboard, Inc.’s web site or on yuku. I wonder if that’s to calm the jitters about the move to the (still beta, still buggy, still un-priced, still ad. revenue selfish) yuku?
Of course, all of this could be wildly inaccurate so I wouldn’t necessarily rely on any of it.
