So why did Zango ultimately fail? (Because yes, that’s what the acquisition by blinkx represents, even if blinkx keeps the brand and systems going and retains some of the employees.) From the perspective of nearly a decade at Zango, and a little less than a year watching from the sidelines, I think that of the numerous contributing factors, the following five were most significant. Not everybody at Zango would agree as to which ones were most important, but pretty much everyone would agree that they all played a significant role.

Edit
An article posted by The Register, 21st April 2009, quotes a Blinkx spokeswoman stating that Blinkx bought only about 10 per cent of Zango’s total assets.
