Thanks to Jim to zapping me this …
Just posted by Nick on the Performancing blog is this:
After much discussion, we've decided that the deal proposed by PayPerPost just isnt right for us or our community. It's regrettable that we should part ways as I still feel that Dan and Ted are stand up guys breaking new ground, but in the end, the deal was just not right for them or us.
Is this a case of the outcry putting the kibosh on the deal?? I bet it was.? Without metrics, PPP didn't have much beyond a Drupal-based blog network and a bunch of cranky people.? And I bet I wasn't the only one who deleted there metrics profiles from there in the wake of the deal. I went over to FeedBurner, which is exactly what Nick recommends others to while the Performancing Metrics tools are developed by the Open Source crowd:
If you're a Metrics user and dont want to wait around till the OS version of Metrics is developed (and this could take some time…), I highly recommend Feedburners Blog Stats which has just gone live. Dick and the FB guys are good friends of Performancing and I can't think of a better place to send the Performancing Metrics users.
While Nick doesn't speak ill of the PPP guys or the deal, I think this is a real set back for PPP.? They are certainly the favourite whipping boys of the blogosphere.? The real question now is, what will happen to the Performancing ad network?
