Wow! As one of the original Kelkoo founders it's strange to see this kind of announcement but actually not that surprising, for numerous reasons:
1: Kelkoo has not innovated since the Yahoo acquisition and spends more time getting them to fill in headcount spreadsheets 2: Merchants can now get traffic from many more sources (adwords, feed aggregators, widgets) at cheaper and sometimes better qualified places 3: Services aren't just price lead anymore - there needs to be a focus on other things 4: All the existing founders left!
I've written a full post on my blog with some good insider info fresh from the source:
