As Scour announces that they’re shutting off their file trading service (yet another application to delete from my computer), they’ve also attracted another bidder in the battle to buy their bankrupt assets.

It’s amusing how all these marketing opportunities are only really considered marketing opportunities in the new economy.

I wonder what the next killer new economy marketing opportunity will be? Maybe criminal jail terms for all senior execs?
