Does anyone remember the company All Advantage.com? Where did they go?

They were victims of the first big Internet crash. From wikipedia:

“AllAdvantage ultimately fell victim to the sharp decline in advertising spending as the dot-com bubble burst and the U.S. economy entered a recessionary period in mid-2000. AllAdvantage planned an initial public offering of stock in early 2000, underwritten by renowned investment banker Frank Quattrone and his firm Credit Suisse First Boston.[8] As the IPO market continued to sour through mid-2000, the offering plans were cancelled. The company continued to seek new sources of revenue and expanded its offerings to include sweepstakes.[9] But the company finally halted consumer-facing operations in February 2001. By the time it closed its doors, the company had paid out over $160 million to its members.[10]”

I would also like to claim responsibility for their demise: I used the MyAdvantage hack to accrue cash 24 hours a day for months.

@Love: How did u manage that? I thought they set it up so they knew the user was active at the computer?

As always. Thanks Marina!!

MyAdvantage was a tool that, every 20 seconds or so, would click through a list of sites you personally defined: Like a screensaver loads random photos in your picture folder.

All Advantage was basically fooled into thinking you were there browsing as usual.

Got it. Thanks! Wish I knew about that.
