Has Particls disintegrated? | ZDNet
Summary
The company was started in January 2006 by Chris Saad and Ashley Angell to develop an RSS feed organiser. It launched a personalised news and alerts service back in May 2007 to positive reviews, and earlier this year released an application called Particls Fountain that allowed users to follow topics on Twitter by keyword. Saad moved to San Francisco earlier and joined the American company JS Kit, which is developing an online commenting system called Echo. The other co-founder, Ashley Angell, is believed to be working for one of Particls investors, Brisbane-based entrepreneur Stephen Kelly, on his company Peepel.
