Have the lights quietly gone out at Netfaze Technologies? Seems to us like it’s another ad network that’s quietly gone to debtor in possession – even maybe as much as several months ago. NetFaze was a Scala network in casinos with some wayfinding and ad sales for Timeshare condos. Looks like the lights are out […]
