Yep, Social Discovery Startup Sonar Is Dead (And Its CEO Explains Why)
So, uh, what's going on with Sonar? The startup, which promised to connect users with relevant people nearby (using data from Facebook, Foursquare, and elsewhere), seemed to have disappeared from the web, as noted in a Valleywag post earlier this month. But we've been trying to get in touch with the team to figure out if the startup was truly dead or just preparing for a relaunch, and in fact, when I spoke to former CTO Paul Fisher last week, he didn't sound entirely sure himself.Well, founder and former CEO Brett Martin just eliminated that ambiguity with a post on Medium about "the rise and fall of @sonar". And in an email, he told me, "To my knowledge, there's no one working on it full time. I stopped working on it a few months ago."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/naykSsFnqEY/
