I've been using Meedio almost from the begining it was conceived now such a blow...there's a good expression in my native language... "Dac dupy" - it means that one allows someone else use their behind for pleasure...that's exactly how I feel about this deal.  Shame on you Meedio..Shame on You Yahoo for being too lazy asses and not deveop something of your own.  This is a SAD SAD day.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2006 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[I often wonder why the list of DVR software (not just this one) so often excludes Media Portal even though it in many ways out-performs even most of the commercial products mentioned above and is free and open source, but doesn't require geek knowledge to set up and maintain.<br><br>As to Meedio, while I can't blame them too much for taking the money and running, it makes me sad to see the way they've repeatedly broken promises to their users, even from back in the MyHTPC days.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grover Saunders]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2006 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[The speculation has been out there for a while with a leaked press release from the Meedio PR firm.  As a guy who has quite literally been there from the beginning (myHTPC first release) I can say I'm very happy to see their hard work pay off.  The development team is talented and always open to suggestions.  I say congrats.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2006 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/yahoo-buys-meedio-but-not-meedio-tv/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes its true I sold meedio to yahoo months ago and kept it a secret.

Hopefully many of the talented Meedio community developers (plugins and skins) might consider helping MP.

It's no secret that Meedio has been hurting for cash lately. I hope Pablo and co. got a nice wad of cash for this after pouring years of hard work into it.
