* iSyndicate: Dead or Alive?

Heavy rumors are circulating in all the usual places online (read
F---dCompany.com, et al.) that iSyndicate has gone under for
good.  In fact on May 1st, ContentBiz received an email from
content distributor COMTEX's PR person saying "Despite recent
news of fellow syndicator iSyndicate's demise…."  However, nobody
at iSyndicate has been able to confirm or deny this "news."

Last month iSyndicate laid off 50% of its staff (sparking the now
infamous ex-employee email to publisher partners), and just last
week the Company was reportedly angling to get acquired by rival
ScreamingMedia for under $10 million.  Although iSyndicate's site
is still up, it appears that nobody has been answering the phones
in PR, sales or reception for the past 48 hours.

Our advice to publishers: the deathwatch is on so don't waste
your time on trying to get a deal, or on trying to get paid.
