CDNow and Columbia House Call Off Merger

from the bad-news-for-CDNow dept

CDNow and Columbia House have called off their planned merger. No reason is given, but it could have something to do with the fact that CDNow has really disappeared from the public view as a real e-commerce play. Amazon did an excellent job killing CDNow.

    Wow. That's a huge surprise to me. You never hear about CDNow any more at all. I'm really surprised. I give them credit, though. I guess they're fighting back. Let's see if they can keep it up.
