I lead the team that created the website and saw it through a wildly successful launch. I then left when they started tightening the belt a little and transitioned the website over to SourceSpeed. This was the step they took after Eos and a lot of (all?) SourceSpeed's eggs were in that basket. They're in the same line of work I'm in - consulting for the New Skies platform (mostly SkySales customization). I got pinged from them when all this went down to see if there was any other work out there. I didn't realize the extent of the damage until I read this article.
