PubSub ran into problems in 2006 as noted in a blog entry by Bob Wyman and is now dead. The PubSub website was offline from 15 January 2007 until 15 August 2007. Its assets were purchased by Something Simpler. Something Simpler planned to relaunch the site as a user friendly version of
Yahoo! Pipes. Something Simpler is planning to launch a
Facebook application similar to the original PubSub sidebars. As November 18, 2009, PubSub v2.0 was publicly accessible again. It ceased operations in August 2013. ==References==
