A wrench in the works.

Another hopeful new media project bites the dust. Over a year ago, I purchased a charter subscription to the SprocketWorks product because it looked like an innovatively designed and highly visual, interactive tool that my kids could get into. These guys used Shockwave in very clean, efficient, and effective way that grabbed my attention. Today, I received this in the mail:

SprocketWorks Discontinuation Letter

Maybe it was because they went with a CD-based subscription instead of web-based one. Maybe it was because they couldn’t get their store up and running when they promised. Maybe it was because it ended up taking too much time and money to produce a product consisting of solid content and quality implementation. Imagine that. Now part of me is sad. And another part of me just shrugs it off.
