SoftTech Celebrates 3rd Anniversary Of Consumer Web Investments

SoftTech seems to have had a few clear success stories. Truveo and Userplane were bought by AOL, we believe at profitable valuations and MyBlogLog was bought by Yahoo. The future looks bright for Dogster, Netvibes, Wikia and Buzznet. Edgio has had well documented troubles but has been trying to make a correction to its approach.
