A boomer targeted website is going down the tubes.
Jeff Taylor who started Monster is behind EONS. Now it looks as though he is 1 for 2 because I just can’t see them hanging on in this space (no pun intended.)
Savvy Boomer did a great job tracking them from the very beginning and has some breathtaking charts of the heights Eons rose to and then tumbled from.
As you can imagine, they were very well funded. When it’s all said and done, probably $50 million will be pissed away on the venture.
The site was pretty clunky as I pointed out soon after their launch. It didn’t improve enough for me to spend time there. The blogging portion was woefully lacking in features and ability to browse. Their ranking (they called them Booms! - clever) system never did much either.
Listen and you can hear the death rattle.
I think I’ll mosey over and post this there too.

With Trends Like These Who Needs Enemas?
You know how 10-year-old boys have competitions to see who can come up with the grossest thing? Well, watch and learn, kids.
Tune in tomorrow when I reveal the five grossest things I will do.
With the help of my two good friends: the CVS manager and MyGoodCents I am going green.
First, MyGoodCents is a CVS shopping expert. She gets armloads of stuff for just nickels. I really enjoy her “found money” posts.
I went into CVS and picked up a large bag of M&M’s and took them to the counter to pay. The manager was working and he said he had a better deal for me. I knew I could count on him, because on another day, when I was after drugs with no M&M’s on my mind, he told me they were on sale.
Today, he said if I bought the green only M&M’s, $3.49, I would get $3 in CVS bucks.
Done, and done.
Not only did I get the $3 from M&M’s I got another $1.50 in CVS bucks.
Going green is working out very well for me.
